1 XP license, or 2?
I purchased a MBP with Boot Camp preinstalled for extra, hence it also included a license of XP (and I have the OEM media for it). Now that I've learned about Parallels Desktop for Mac, it seems worthy to get the best of both worlds.

I was originally curious if Parallels would just pick up the partition that Boot Camp created but now I understand that Parallels will not currently use the partition that Boot Camp created. So, I obviously need to reinstall XP again.

My question is then whether I have to purchase another XP master from somewhere first, or whether the XP license I got covers the XP that will be install for use under Parallels?

If it matters any, I have not yet activated the XP that was installed via the Boot Camp setup.
