If the two computers do talk to one another just change the serial number. I have at least 4 SNs laying around.
In other words yes, there are several ways around this problem if it even is a problem. Post or PM if you need more help.

This is totally incorrect. Windows XP has an activation feature. Once you activate the one copy on the first machine, you can not activate it on the second machine. You can use a different serial #, but if that serial number has been activated anywhere else on a different machine anywhere in the world, you are in the same boat.
The "talking to each other thing" is only relevant if you are trying to install a ghost image of the same install with the same SID.
