That's my question, and I think more and more users will have the same:

I'm going to upgrade my system's OS to Windows 7, but maintaining XP as far as I can trust in new OS. So, as I have my 2 license used (current system and Laptop), is there a way to keep using same key for same PC new OS, or I must deactivate one.

Thanks in advance!

You mean a dual boot system with XP and windows 7?
Our licensing system will count this as 2 installations. But i'm sure that after some days you will only use the windows 7 installation. So you need to deactivate the XP license and use the key for the windows 7 installation.

Yeah!

I'm sure I'll switch to Windows 7, but I was wondering to make transition less intrusive or harmful, doing it step by step. It doesn't matter, thanks for your reply, I see now that I should make the switch faster and forget about XP.
