Nope, XP is a 1 user license for 1 or 2 CPU's.

Remote Assistance is not the same as Remote Desktop.

Remote Desktop is only available (in as far as the Windows XP Family is
concerned) for the XP Professional series - Windows XP Home Edition does NOT
have Remote Desktop capabilities. Which version of Windows XP do each side
of this equation have?

Remote Assistance requires the person needing the help to request it and
(normally) requires them to be there when the help is provided. They have
to APPROVE of the incoming user.

Remote Desktop is just like sitting in front of the computer in question..
One user at a time and unless you allow people to stare over your shoulder
(even if you do) - only the user actually "using" the pc can see what they
are doing.

From what I am getting out of this conversation (or have tried to
decipher) - the OP wants to assist someone in a way that allows them to
demonstrate and take-over the remote PC - leaving their actions fully
visible to the remote computer user sitting in front of it. This would
require the use of Remote Assistance OR some third party applications like
UltraVNC.
