Depending on the type of license. Windows installations need to be activated. Make sure no other computers are using the same license and you can install - Boot Camp works with XP (Service Pack 2 or 3), Vista, and 7. You install from the CD - run Boot Camp from Applications/Utilities; it will walk you through the installation. Remember to print the instructions when prompted.

I used to only use bootcamp, but I have more recently started using parallels. And yes you need a valid copy of windows with a license.

If it was a license for one computer can I still use it? I do not use my old computer that I downloaded windows on.
