Virtual Machine License question

Hi All,

I am plannng (on another machine, if you read a previous
post of mine) to run XP as a guest instance on a virtual machine
using Parallels for Linux.

License question: If I run two or more guest instances (on the same
hardware, through Parallels) of XP at the same time, is this allowed
for by the XP license?

Many thanks,
-T

Re: Virtual Machine License question

No. Each installation of Windows XP, whether installed
on conventional hardware or in a virtual machine environment,
requires it own distinct license.
