Can downgrade you Windows 7 to Windows XP using the Windows 7 license?

I did a search on this topic, and it doesn't seem to be an answer to this.

We are a business in the OEM version of sale of the Windows 7 Professional there is a customer who wishes to downgrade to Windows XP Professional

It is said that the OEM Windows 7 Professional version has the option to downgrade to Windows XP.

I also found an article that Microsoft extended this downgrade to 2020

http://www.Computerworld.com/s/article/9179109/Microsoft_extends_Windows_XP_downgrade_rights_until_2020

At the moment I have installed Windows XP from scratch and I want to activate Windows XP by using the Windows 7 Professional license.

Is this possible?

7 eligible for Downgrade Windows OEM versions

It is listed on the Microsoft Web site - http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/downgrade_rights.aspx

Only certain versions of OEM Windows 7 include the right to downgrade:

* Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate includes the right to downgrade to Windows Vista business and Windows Vista Edition full.
* Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate includes the right to downgrade to Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Tablet PC Edition or Windows XP x 64 Edition.
* Other OEM of Windows 7 versions (for example, Windows 7 Home Basic Edition and Windows 7 Home Premium) do not include downgrade rights.

If you are a system integrator, you will need to provide the separate license of Windows XP. You can't actually use the Windows 7 product key to activate Windows XP.
