Product Key problems

I have installed Windows XP Professional on my home
computer and my lap top but when I try to activate
windows on my laptop it won't allow me to because of the
product key. What do I do.

Use the call option to activate instead of the internet activation.

Sonja;
Have you installed the same license on both the laptop and desktop?
You need to buy two copies if you want it on two computers.

It is irrelevant if they are a desktop and a laptop, used for home or
business, networked or standalone.
