: multiple licenses for windows XP? big'olburb 11-25-2003, 07:54 PM Whats the best deal on XP for a small business? All of our PC's are fucked and need a good cleaning, but a couple need new OSs. We use XP because thats what everyone here knows, but we can't afford 1500 for 5 computers! Any clue? jstandle 11-25-2003, 08:13 PM Unless you're education you're pretty much stuck with paying around $250. Our government discount gets us Office 2003 standard for $250ish, and $300ish for the Professional. Assuming you're talking about Office, and not Windows XP? If you don't mind being a "Pirate" you could round up someone that sells volume licensing contracts where one validation code will work on all of your licensed computers and they don't require activation. (i.e. buy 2 or more licenses but use the code all you want) Chances of getting caught are slim, but always possible. We buy ours through ASAP.com, but not sure if thats open to all business or not.
