True. And it would be silly to trawl for an XP license number as a lot of those OEM builds have a bunch of license numbers assigned to them and won't work with other types of builds.
EG: the MSDN XP installation CD will not take a license that is on the sticker on the bottom of a new pc.
The volume license edition won't either, and you can't use one of the MSDN or regular volume licenses on an install with a CD that comes with a pre-installed pc either.
You will have to activate it if it's a pre-install edition and that will kill the activation on the other machine that has it. You'll have to call up to change it.
