XP & Activation

[Matt Newman]

I activated my XP a couple of months ago (not sure how long ago), and I want to reinstall. If I re-activate it on the exact same hardware will it cause any problems? -:suss:Matt Newman:suss: -Sonork ID: 100.11179:BestSnowman Frankly AOL should stick to what it does best: Fooling millions of americans into believing that it, AOL, is the web. -Paul Watson

In theory no. But I don't know about practice :( MS said that you can change 1-2 devices in your computer without incurring reactivation penalty. But let us know how it goes... HomeNuke ---- "Nuke'd Your Home, Yet?" Run your own PostNuke based web server from home http://www.homenuke.com

I am going to try reinstalling some software first but I may also be over the 120 day mark. -:suss:Matt Newman:suss: -Sonork ID: 100.11179:BestSnowman Frankly AOL should stick to what it does best: Fooling millions of americans into believing that it, AOL, is the web. -Paul Watson

Yes. Do a search for Windows Product Activation on Google, somewhere out there there's a full list. farewell goodnight last one out turn out the lights
