Some programs allow for multiple installs, but you’ll have to check the license agreement. If the license agreement for the software restricts it to one machine only, then no. I’ve already used my Windows and Office registration numbers on my PC.

Will that work with the Windows-OS X dual-boot systems? On dual-boot OS 9/OS X systems, I could hold down the X key on restart to boot into OS X. Or if you prefer, at boot time, you can just hold down the Option key to get a drive-picking utility that will let you select which volume you want to start up from. From Windows, you can use the Startup Disk Control Panel that Boot Camp installs.
BOOT CAMP FOR MAC OS 10.4 MAC OS X
From Mac OS X, you can use the Startup Disk preference pane, which now displays Windows disks alongside Mac OS X volumes. But how do I set which OS I’m booting into? So I don’t have to choose which operating system to use each time I boot. Boot Camp is better than that hack on all counts. And you need to have a Windows PC in order to create a modified Windows installation disc. The hack didn’t include any Windows drivers for Mac hardware, so Macs that used the hack to install Windows XP generally didn’t work very well. You had to choose which operating system you wanted to use every time you rebooted. However, installing that hack took quite a bit more effort than Boot Camp. On Intel-based Macs a few weeks before Boot Camp’s released. You’re referring to the two enterprising hackers who Is there a way to create a SP2 disc with what I have? OK, I understand that Boot Camp requires a version of XP that includes Service Pack 2, but I only have an original XP disc. You can’t buy an “upgrade” copy, because you’re not upgrading from a previous version of Windows. (And yes, we specifically mean SP2-when we tried installing SP1 during one of our tests, it didn’t work at all.) You can’t just copy the version of Windows that came with any old PC, because it can’t be installed on any system other than the one it came with.
BOOT CAMP FOR MAC OS 10.4 FULL VERSION
No, you need to have your own full version of Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Wait-I thought all I had to do was install Boot Camp and then I’d be running Windows. When the lengthy Windows installation process concludes, you insert the CD-ROM that the Boot Camp Assistant burned, which installs the appropriate Windows drivers, as well as a Windows utility (much like the Startup Disk preference pane) that lets you choose your startup volume.

Once the Boot Camp Assistant does its job, your Mac reboots and-thanks to a recent firmware update-you can insert your Windows XP installation CD and it will be recognized as a bootable volume.
