I ordered two copies today.If anyone knows of a cheaper price, post it here; but, this is as close to free as I've seen.http://cdsfu.com/index.php?categoryID=87
View 14 Replies View RelatedI know that may seem like a relatively obvious question however I was hoping to flush out some details from people with more experience than I possess.I was told that if you have a retail copy of XP pro, if you stop using old machine and buy a new 1 then you can transfer your license across. I however purchased an OEM copy of XP pro about 4 years for my old laptop. I have not used it in a few years and was hoping that if I make a new computer I can use my old key. I am pretty sure when I try to activate it that it will say the key is no good and to call their help number but what details are stored on their system? If I say that I have simply formatted my old machine and are doing a new install will I then be able to use the code they give me for my new machine or is the code somehow 'locked' to the CPU number or something? If any1 has any experience migrating a license across then please advise me. I do not wish to use a pirated copy and will buy a new license if needed but hope that it is not neccesary since I paid for this license and I am happy to format my old machine and not use it again.

I have all the software that came with it, and I have a copy of XP home, but I can't find anything with the license key information. The F10 recovery does not work. F8 does not work. I cannot get Windows to load at all. Does anyone know how I can find out what the license key is? Will HP give me that info? I can call them..but I just hate talking with their tech support.

All the latest oem versions are now supplied in boxes, and in the box is a leaflet which states that the sticker for the pc is not the licence, but is to help the end user to determine whether or not the installation is genuine & not pirated.

I wrote down the key and wonder if I can reactivate a reinstall using the same key. I am hoping I do not need to do a scratch install, but if I do, I dont want to have to call the indians if I dont need to.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've given for a time my notebook with WinXP Pro SP2 to a colleague.has reinstalled windows and since that I receive an error message log (Event viewer System Ivent id 10020)"The machine wide Default Launch and Activation security descriptor is invalid. It contains Access Control Entries with permissions that are
invalid. The requested action was therefore not performed. This security permission can be corrected using the Component Services administrative tool."And also the Microsoft Genuine "told" me that my license key is not valid. Is there any possibilities to set up both problems without reinstalling Windows XP with completely new copy.
I have about 30 laptop computers with XP Pro. I'd like to install the OS, Office, and other APPs w/out using a specific license key. Then, make a ghost image of that installation. Later, when a laptop goes bad (they do all the time) I can ghost the image back, register the appropriate license key(s) and get started. Is there such a way for me to install Windows and Office?

A friend installed his copy of XP on my machine many months ago. I already had my own license for XP at that point, but as a matter of convenience at the time, we installed his copy. Now as you know, MS won't supply automatic updates anymore, because they think I have a stolen copy of XP. Technically correct, but realistically, not quite that bad. How do I tell the operating system my correct license code? Will I need to reinstall the OS, or can it be done with less fuss?

As PC's are retired from service, can the XP license be transferred to another machine? If so, how? If not, why not? It would seem that legally, if I own 20 legal copies of an OS, I ought to be able to run 20 copies on 20 PC's, regardless of which 20 PC's.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question regarding a legal aspects of Windows XP.I have a machine running XP Pro. In the very near future, I am planning on getting rid it in favor of a new one. However, I would still like to keep the OS license.Am I allowed to reinstall XP Pro on the new PC using the same CD Key? Do I need to notify Microsoft in any way? Is there a special uninstallation process I need to apply to the old machine to 'release' the license?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI made the mistake of installing the "latest" MB drivers on my MSI Platinum motherboard. MS WIN XP seems to have a spyware program that detects thse changes and asked me to "re-register" my OEM software. Since I did not have my network connection up, I attempted to do it on the telephone. And because I am at least semi-honest, I let it slip that I had installed my copy of XP on two personal computers. After getting the MS Lecture (Thou shalt not use a single license on more than one PC), I was switched to another person who offered me a second license for a mere $184 US. I reluctantly agreed. He tried three times to enter my OEM XP disc's numbers into the re-authorization system and failed.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a computer used for weekly backups that will utilize a removable hard drive that gets swapped out every week for offsite storage. In this case, I will have two of these removable hard drives, only one of which will be in use at any time, swapping in and out with each other every week.Since these hard drives will also contain the OS, how do I deal with XP licensing and authentication? Since there's only *one* computer, can I install and authorize a single copy of XP (Pro) on both removable hard drives? It seems unfair I would have to buy two copies of XP if only one is going to be used on the single computer at any given time.
