359489 2005-05-29 04:32:00 Out of the blue my XP machine is demanding that i reactivate the licence, due to some "major" hardware changes which aparently happened (which i know not to be the case).
ive got 3 days left.
something just doesnt seem right.
whats more, i dont know where my licence key is( is there a way to find it in the regestry?).

359490 2005-05-29 04:37:00 hhhmmm weird, download rockxp, i think that will get the activation file or somethng,but i have a feeling that it is too late for that, but rockxp will get ur licence key. why not connect to the internet and just let it activate? or is it because it wont for "certian reasons"....

359491 2005-05-29 06:16:00 You shouldn't need you license key to activate it. Just do as prescott said and activate over the internet. It takes 5 seconds.:) 4bes (2848)
359492 2005-05-29 08:46:00 its requiring me to put the licence key in, which is really annoying.
ill have a try with rockxp and see how it goes


[edit]

AHHHHH, for some reason my licence key is invalid, due to its uasage being exeeded.
which is very strange because ive protected that number with my life.

359493 2005-05-29 09:14:00 if you have a legit copy of XP then ring MS. it could be possible that your copy was used elsewhere all ready. a few stores have been prosocuted for useing the same key on mulitable pc's. tweak'e (69)
359494 2005-05-29 10:19:00 V interesting: I have just had exactly the same problem and had to phone MS in Banagalore "Not technical - don't know the answer...".

I have been having problems simply using the windows security update facility. (See sep post.) Is there a new WXP bug here?

Does your key start with FCKGW by any chance?
