(I don't > think so right?) I think you are right about that :)(I maybe wrong) if you want to keep using win XP then you will have to send in that activate code. Hope this helps :) |

Your pc produces a number, you give them that number, they give you another number, you type it in, and XP is yours. Easy! regards, andy |

If you really want to verify that, get a packet capture program and analyse the contents of packets sent and receive during the activation process :D. |

| 145350 | 2003-05-18 05:22:00 | That would be illegal unless you buy a second licence (in other words, another copy of Windows XP). The only thing you could do remotely like that, without breaking the EULA and laws, is have a copy of the Windows XP CD on another computer for backup purposes. |

| 145352 | 2003-05-19 11:52:00 | Quick an easy I would argue with as I recently tried to do an activation using a cell phone and after four goes gave up as if you timed out you had to start again and if you typed the wrong number same again. After four goes I gave up. You have I think 6 lots of 6 numbers to type in precisely. It would make far more sense to deal with an actual person on the end of the line. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
