OK, I have 3 of the same machine, all with XP Pro, all dell dimensions same model. I have a select contract for my OfficeXP with enough licenses for the three and I have other applications that do not require licensing.
I want to copy the hard drive of a machine I have installed everything on it and then put the drives back in the machines.
OfficeXp has the same number
All other apps are to the company so they are safe
All hardware is the same
Each machine has a windowsXP product Key but by copy the drive the registration info will carry over from the first drive.
Question:
1) Is there a way to go into the system and change the registration # once the machine is up and running
2) Will it matter if I copy the drive to the 2 other drive using the same windowsxp key as long as each machine has there own key on the side of the machine.
