Can I load Windows XP Pro on more than one computer?

I purchased the home version and found I'm unable to load/register it on more than one computer. Would like to load it on my laptop (currently running 98) as well as another computer I'm building. I'm hooking up a wireless network at home so all these computers will have internet access. I seem to recall that XP Pro allowed installation on more than one computer. Would like to know for sure before making the purchase.

Regards, Ken

And I'll bet Microsoft will notice if you run Windows Update from both systems.

Naw, remember, "no information is being sent to MicroSoft"

And I've got this really cool bridge for sale in Brooklyn.

Take a look next time you update. That text has been removed for a long time.
