>>>OP specified an MSDN license<<<

I don't see that he did or it wasn't clear to me. He stated he was a MSDN
Developer, but I do not see where he says the copy of XP is a MSDN version.
Not to be critical by no means, but his post is as confusing as the MS
EULA's...well not that bad. VBG


Somon,

Go ahead and give it a try, the worse case is it will not activate and MS
may not let you, but leave the one on the Virtual Machine until you find
out. I'd also search the MSDN forms and website to see if you can get a
definite answer there.

All the best,
