    Re: A scary thought....

    Happened to me too.I bought XP Home and I installed it on a custom computer and an old crappy Laptop cause I wasn't aware that I could only use the product key twice.

    I create a new custom computer for myself and had to take a different Product ID.But from where?

    I looked at the old comps I had and realized that the company in this case Compaq used the Product ID twice already when manifacturing the computer. :/

    I got one from a friend and had to find a way to Genuine avoid it.

    I hope my computer will upgrade to Vista even though the system is not genuine.This is my biggest concerne.

    Is there any way to unsubscribe from a Product ID?

    The retail version of XP lets you install it on 5 "differant" computers at a time (at least the one that I got at the Microsoft store in Washington). Differant is in quotes because I think it checks it based off your MAC address, although im not positive (considering it only does it in XP when I change out a motherboard).
