    I have gone through aload of old software dics and found a few copies of Windows XP Professional Discs I got a while back.
    I remember getting the product key stickers etc with them but the problem is I have since lost them so I have no keys for the discs, is there a way that I can still use them?? I am building a backup system to my main system and wanted to put this on it if possible!!

    if they are OEM they are only licensed on the original computer's motherboard.

    if they are non-OEM then you can install on ONE computer at at time provided you have the LICENSE.
