| 262818 | 2004-08-18 05:01:00 | Hi guys - Just wondering... is the whole activation thing of XP Pro Corp edition removed from the CD itself, or on the recognition of the infamous "FCKGW" key? 2nd question - is a genuine OEM key usable on the XP Pro Corp install instead of the pirated key? Or is the installation dependent on the key being a genuine Corporate key? Lo. |

There is no activation in the corporate (or enterprise) version of Windows XP. > 2nd question - is a genuine OEM key usable on the XP > Pro Corp install instead of the pirated key?

The old FCKGW key used to work before SP1, but I think SP1 (and now I guess SP2) would look for this key, and others, on install and if found they'd ask for the new key. Mike. |

| 262820 | 2004-08-18 05:19:00 | It's removed from the Windows install files. You can only use special Volume Lisence keys to install the corp edition. You'll notice when you do an install when it gets to the page where it asks for the Product key is a bit different for the corp edition. Instead of saying that your product ID is on the CD case it says that you need your volume liscense key and if you don't have it get it from your network adminstrator. |
