Are you saying that you can run the Windows Activation Wizard (or whatever it is) and then see if it is OK or not? If so, that's good, I think! Also, Alex Nichol posted .... What happens to the activation "issues" since I'm changing my "c" drives. Do I activate again? if it's past the 30 days, then what? Thanks, Fred.

Especially as activation and other schemes make Windows expensive to consumers. And that is a big problem now with Linux. It won't run many games. So you see a new game you just have to get, and voila, it only runs on Windows. OK, so you have to have Windows. Gaming is big. When Linux solves that, another tipping

Windows activation question
After starting up XP, the first message I get is that windows needs to be activated, and the question whether I want to activate it or not. I see a couple of issues here - although the first thing you say is plausible (in a way) - I doubt the software (Windows XP previously installed) caused you to purchase a

ID=KB;EN-US;Q315341 The "why" is quite simple, really, and has nothing to do with licensing issues, per se; it's a purely technical matter, at this point. This will also probably require re-activation, unless you have a Volume Licensed version of WinXP Pro installed. If it's been more than 120 days since you

activation problem after cleaning a virus.
How time consuming or cumbersome is it to use the sled(opening tower,plugging in etc) and are there any issues with XP recognizing it each time? Depending on frequency of use these things might potentially prove a problem. Although more expensive and (?how much)slower an external hdd may be preferable?

HP tc1100 windows activation issues
Personally, I can believe it; there's been a few horror stories floating around about activation issues. But it's a very weird problem, in some respects; a modern PC, after all, consists of freely replaceable subcomponents.

Strange Windows Activation Request

Windows activation and Geniue issues
The only thing it seems you can do is install Windows, 30 days to activate. You can install the drivers in that time and then activate. This is just one of those "it's not my problems" issues.

Parallels has cunning code to stop Windows bitching about changes of hardware, but not to stop Office 2007 doing the same.
