I found this after digging on the microsoft website:
Can I transfer a license to another computer?
Consumers should use the terms of their license agreements to determine if it is permitted to transfer a license to another computer. If a transfer is permitted by the license agreement, the product has to be removed from the computer on which it was first installed. Users may have to complete the activation on the new computer by placing a call to the Microsoft Activation Center.
So all that has to be done is remove it from the original system and the new user calls in activation I think.

no you cant. moreover you gotta activate every time you reinstall some major hardware part.
they don't mind though. i do it at least twice a month.

I'll give ya 20 bucks for it.Does this mean I am basically stuck with an extra copy of XP Home?

If you activated that particular cd key 3 or more months ago microsoft no longer has it on record and it can be sold to someone else and reactivated. (Or reinstalled on your own system and reactivated again).
There was much discussion on this topic when WinXP (and product activation) was new.
This is coming from experience..Activation was a HUGE topic in here for a long time.Originally posted by: timswim78

Do you have a link to this policy or do you know this from experience?
