Did Microsoft ever offer home users the oppurtunity to purchase a multi-user license for XP (for less than five computers)?

Don't think so. I haven't heard of anything like that. If you want to install XP on more than one computer, you have to buy a copy of XP for each one.

That's what I figured. I had seen an article about possibly offering this but never heard anything else about it.

Thanks

On introduction, they had a deal where you get your first copy at the regular price, then you could buy subsequent copies for $10 less.... big deal :D

You can still buy additional licenses for the price Hal mentioned. But as far as I have seen the are only for full version retail copies. So about $289 for XP Pro! Not exactly a smoking deal.

No I didn't.....I'm a member of the Microsoft Developers Assoc(?) and I got my six copiesof Pro for $39 a disc, including a bunch of freebie M$ junk. I posted it here some time back when they made the offer open to the public but I don't remember anyone commenting.

Search back for my post and check it out, but I think the offer has expired. But who knows they may have extended it. I'll look for the link and post it if I find it.

You have to sign up at the MS partners site... Once you click to order, it'll take you where you need to go in order to sign up!

LOL I don't really care about the trinkets but 40 bucks for a copy of XP Pro direct from M$ ain't too bad!
