you'd be surprised at how many big companies buy a 1000 licenses and install them on about 5000 machines.... - ajb2015, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"They have a right to try to stop or at least control that privacy and the product activation seems to be a fair way of ensuring that only legitimate software owners get to benefit from using it."
What if I'm running a home network with five computers. You think I'm going to buy copies of Windows XP for every single one of them? Bite me. I'll go for the pirated version thanks. - jctsup1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Just o follow up on my previous comment - I work for a very large OEM and this does in fact work as long as you don't change the hardware

- havock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice.

Hate to disagree with you but this does in fact work. I have used this on several different flavors of XP (OEM , Retail, MSDN version, etc) with no problems - misfitiii, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Seems like alot of work to just to get the same outcome. I could see this being useful if you've lost your activation info...
- absorbentpig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting...
There maybe a way to install Windows XP on a different computer without activation though. I somehow managed to do it on one of my computer. I borrowed a Windows XP CD from a friend a couple of years ago and I tried to install it on one of my computers. Without knowing that I'd have to go through activation, I installed it and wanted to reformat the hard drive. I went over to my friend's house (the one I borrowed the cd from) and connected my hard drive to his computer and reformated. I went back home and tried installing XP again and found that I didn't need to activate it. If someone's willing to give it a try, tell me if it works. - glitchbit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0THIS DOES NOT WORK.
sadly many people believe this must be true, BUT I must emphasize this ONLY works on probably one PARTICULAR version of XP not the retail version you bought. And corporate doesn't need it regardless. It is probably a limited multi-license that it works on I am not sure. But I work for a computer company and this has never worked on retail versions and never will.
STOP SPREADING THIS MYTH. - N3LDAN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i hate that goddamn winxp activation. This morning I was greeted by a nice little message. "You must activate windwos to continue" OK. "Windows XP is already activated" OK. It logs me out. ***** great! And this was with a legitimate XP Pro key! No crack!
