    I have 5 Toshiba laptops that have had hardware failures and are unusable. XP is on the restore disks. Can I use the restore disks on different computers since I own the software?​

    If they're the same model and you use the correct license key (usually on a label underneath) for each installation you shouldn't have a problem.

    Just curious, what kinds of hardware failures?

    Everything from bad system board batteries to broken display screens. I have some people who are pretty rough on them :mad:

    They are 2002-2003 vintage and not worth fixing but the software is still good...

    Understood, thanks.
    I thought maybe they just needed minor repairs and may have submitted a lowball offer for them!
