"Copyright advice: The following tutorial requires a valid licensed copy of Windows XP. Microsoft does not authorize the owners of Windows XP licences to run the licensed Windows version on more than one computer at a time. The registration of Windows XP also prevents running Windows XP on multiple systems. Due to that, you are allowed to use your licensed copy of Windows XP on only one computer. That does not prevent the use of WinUSB on another computer after shutting down the first system." - http://www.winusb.de/index_en.html
