Disabling a Windows XP Pro version

I use a original version of Windows XP PRO provided by my company. Several
months ago, two computer in my home were using this version. One of those two
computers is now outside my house and I dont want this version of my company
to work on this computer. Is there a way to disable this version of my
windows xp pro that is in use on this other computer ? (I dont have
physically access to this computer).

Thanks
Serge

Sounds to me like you've got a big problem legal-wise there! Get the
computer back and remove the os or whatever it is isn't supposed to have
gotten out before you give it back.
Or are you just looking for a way to remotely trash someone's system? In
that case, you're on your own!

No, I do not want to trash someoine else system.
Six monts ago, my exgirl friend was living in my place. I let her use one of
my computer. When she left, she took the computer and there is now way I can
take it back (well maybe with a court order but that's another story). Can I
contact Microsoft (and my company) to see if my license key could be disabled
so I could use a new one..? She only have my XP PRO version installed on the
hard disk (no original CD in her possession). I have the original version at
home.

Thanks
