No. You won't have any problems whatsoever. As you mentioned elsewhere
in the thread, and is the norm with OEM copies of Windows, the serial
number is on a sticker affixed to the PC case. The Windows discs are
identical, but the serial numbers are associated with the machines they
were first used to register against, so using the serial number that is
stuck to each machine will work fine regardless of which disc you use.
