Ghosting HD'S??

[mattbell]

Hi Guys just after some information here.

Let say i've just built a new PC with XP Home edition on, and i want to build an identical build to the one i just built with the same operating system.

How will license keys be affected( Because i suppose ghosting the original PC will use the same O/S with its License key ETC?) can ghosting only be used when you have a group license??

You can only install one Windows with one license to one computer legally.

You will need to purchase an additional license from M$.

Theoretically, you can run it for 30 days, ignoring the prompts to activate it, and then it will simply quit working.
