Lending My Windows Xp Cd

**littlestevee** · 10-23-2003, 06:07 PM

I have a legal paid for XP Pro Cd.
My friend wants to use it to install XP PRO on his computer.
My verion is registered and I get updates when they come out.
If he installs XP PRO off my cd will it screw me?

Thanks in advance!
Steve

Tell him not to activate it...

**littlestevee** · 10-23-2003, 06:17 PM

thanks for your answer. if he doesn't activate it, what can't or can he do?

**Cygnuz-Y** · 10-23-2003, 06:19 PM

He can do anything....

If he wants the updates he can download them from M$ WEBSITE...

**littlestevee** · 10-23-2003, 06:22 PM

OK thanks!
So, if I want to burn it. Can I? Just a regular CD to CD burn using Nero and give him the copy?

Explain that one to me, Cygnuz-Y. How can he continue to use a regular "legal paid for XP Pro" without activating it?

Isn't there a time limit for how long it can run while not activated?
