    Morning Phynix 68,


     In this situation you would need to purchase a new license along with a new disc. The problem Phynix is Windows XP isn't available anymore unless your local computer store still has some in stock. You would need to either purchase a retail version of XP or the OEM System Builder version. Retail differs from OEM System Builder as you can install it on another computer once you remove it from the other system. OEM System builder version is actually tied to the motherboard of the whichever system it is initially installed on. So if you are into upgrading computers then it would be a good idea to purchase the retail version as you would save money from having to buy a OEM System Builder Windows version each time you upgrade motherboards. 


    Take care,


    Stephen

    Phynix68,

    Your OEM license for XP Pro is valid only on the first computer onto which the license is installed.  The End User Licensing Agreement does NOT permit moving the license from one computer to another, nor does it permit the use of the same license on multiple computers at the same time.

    Based on the info in your post, you have violated the "do not move to another computer" rule:  "any way that computer lasted up until last yearwhen the mother board stuffed up so  i baught a new computer with out an operating system installed on it and istalled my own."  You also violated the "do not use on more than one computer" rule:  "i have also built two computers for my daughters as i was sick of them using mine and fighting over it all the time both have my Windows Xp Oem Operating system on one is activated and the other one is'nt yet"

    So to recap, you need to buy three new licenses for XP Pro:  one for your recently purchased computer, and one each for the two computers you have built for your daughters.  Your current license for XP is only valid on the computer that had the motherboard problem.
