    Hi, I have a need to revert back to XP Pro for training purposes, working on 2003 MCSE, and I need to completely rebuild my system to do so. I want to re-use my WLOC subscription on the same computer but am concerned that it will see the XP system as a seperate system and use up on of the WLOC licenses leaving the Vista one out there un-used. How do I avoid this or update the subscription such that I am still using only one of my three WLOC licenses?

     

    Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

    Since OneCare will be uninstalled from the PC before your load XP, you can simply activate again. The license allows OneCare to be active on 3 PCs concurrently. You are, in effect, performing a reinstall or transfer of license. As long as you don't do that excessively (two dozen times or so) you will be fine.
