NO It would detect the different hardware.
I have to activate everytime, even on the same computer.

No. It's illegal too.

I have a similar question - I have a computer lab at work that has 12 XP Pro machines
and I want to ghost one machine and then have that image available for future restores
if needed. All 12 machines have legal licenses for Windows XP Pro. Let's say I
create the image with workstation #1. If I restore the image to workstation #1,
I'm assuming that will go fine...but if I needed to restore the image to another
machine as well, is there a way I can restore the image and then re-enter the correct
product key/serial number and then activate Windows (which I'm assuming would be
neccessary) without a problem?
Thank you in advance to anyone who knows the answer to this question ;)
