XP Pro

With Office XP Retail you can install it on one workstation and one portable as long as they both belong to the same user. If I purchase XP Pro Retail can I do the same?

I belive you can as long as you are only running 1 copy at a time....

Im sure other members will reply to your post as well, so you will have a better idea if this answer is correct....

Cool

No. To elobrate upon andyms18a, the XP operating system can only be activated on one system at a time.

Thanks for the info. My co-worker will have to make a decision as to which way he wants to go. He has a laptop with XP Pro Upgrade on it and a workstation with XP home. He is trying to figure out which is the cheapest way to go. He was thinking of selling his XP Upgrade if the XP Retail could be used on both comps. He'll have to go back to plan B now what ever it is.
