Is it legal to purchase just a COA?

Posted: 07-25-2003, 12:51 AM
I have the actual Windows XP Professional software I
purchased for $200 about a month ago. I would like to put
it on another PC in my household, but don't need a whole
nother set of discs. I have found a Windows Xp
Professional COA here:

products_id=717 Will this allow me to install my Windows
XP Pro on my other computer legally? Will it give me a CD-
Key too? Thanks. Dave

The site says for OEM only, so the key would not work on a retail
purchased version of XP.
