Windows XP Virtual Machine

I have a fully updated version of Windows XP running on one machine in my network using VMWare Player 6.03 Build 1895310.  I have a player installed on another machine in my network.  Is it possible to transfer the XP operating system from the first machine to the second?

From a technical point of view, you can copy the folder with the VM's files to another system and run the VM on this one. However, the guest OS may require Re-Activation due to the changed hardware, and you may need need to make sure that you don't violate Microsoft's licensing with moving the VM to another host.
