The only available XP PROs right now are Retail versions that are 
still on the shelves...few of these, and OEMs which are readily 
available. Some vendors sell package deals of OEM licenses at a 
slight discount.

The only XP PRO license that can be installed on multiple PCs is a 
Corporate multi user license.

The Retail version comes with a single license, but can be moved from 
one machine to another, say, for example, you built a new computer 
and wanted to move your copy of XP PRO to it. Of course, the license 
is only good for one machine at a time.

The OEM version you typically see now is licensed to one particular 
machine, and can never be moved.
