No, you can use that one. If your worried about licensing I think EULA lets you install XP Pro on 4 different computers.

You can use the OEM CD as was mentioned by Mike, however you will have to remove it from the previous one, if you are not able to register automatically you might have to call Microsoft at the number provided and explain whats going on. And no the EULA lets you install XP home/pro to only ONE computer functioning computer at a time.
