263417 2004-08-19 23:05:00 Is it possible to backup the Microsoft's XP activation code from an existing machine for future use in case one needs to reformat and reinstal XP. This will save the hassle of phoning Microsoft to explain for a new set of code to activate XP.

Is there a way to by-pass this?

Cheers
