Can you register a copy of Windows XP or Microsoft Office to 2 different computers?

No way. At least not ethically unless you have purchased multiple licenses.

Can but you must register within 30 days of the first installation :).

Hello. :)



For Windows XP: I don't think so. The End User License Agreement (EULA) states that one copy of Windows (XP) is to be installed on one computer. If you wish to install Windows (XP) on another computer, you have to uninstall it from the first PC (unless you purchased some kind of license for installing on more than one PC).



...So, I don't think you can register a copy of Windows XP to 2 different computers.



For Microsoft Office: I don't know. Sorry. :(



Judging by the way Microsoft handles business, I believe that the rules of installing MS Office is the same as Windows XP.

P.S. If MS becomes a problem for you; try Linux. ;)
Registration means uniqueness and this is done primarly to avoid piracy and get payment for every copy that has been used. Therefore you cannot register any software twice though permission may be given by that software to see that you do not suffer re-registration when your are forced to install the same software once again due to either software corruption or due to virus or simply because you have formatted your machine.
