Your limitation is that you must have and present during install a
qualifying product to Upgrade from and that product may not then be used
on another PC.
So if you have a Windows 2000 Professional CD - because you installed on
PC-1 and then you have Laptop-1 - you are NOT entitled to use the
upgrade CD to Windows XP and just present it with the Windows 2000 CD
during Setup.

Apart form the regular licensing issue about it being an upgrade and
that you right to use it ceases when you no longer qualify for academic
products (after you leave the course etc) - the product is functionally
identical to the retail available upgrade product.
