Cruiser Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 The discs themselves are unlimited, it's the keys that come with the disc/machine that have a limited number of uses (technically). After a certain number of installations with a key, you will have your activation rejected and will have to call up MS to explain the install and get activated. That usually just involves telling them you formatted and you'll get activated. You can use any XP disc with a matching XP key. Any home disc will let you install any home key and so on. It's the activation that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
