Product Activation After Crash
thanks for the reply. The OS is a retail version. If the person left it to me in their will, does it transfer to me? Perhaps I should ask MS. I've just asked MS, and they seemed to say that if this OS can be transfered. I just need to keep the EULA. And they don't think I'll have any activation issues either.

My Mce2005 activation product id was rejected yesterday after full reinstall of a) 8 Cds from HP for Mce2004 then MS and HP updates excluding Sp2, no activation requested; then b) 1 Dvd sent to me by HP with Mce2005.

activation after hardware change
I read on the MS site that you only need to call them after it has been activated 8 times. But then again they say their activation servers are reset every 6 months so hopefully no-one is oging to have to reactivate that many times in 6 months unless you are really unlucky Beck.

Avoid re-activating XP after a reinstall
Unfortunately, one of those "features" is a poison pill called Windows Product Activation. And no matter HOW good Windows XP/Whistler is, Activation might be ....

You can reinstall and reactivate as often as you need or want to. Worst case, if you do it again with a 90-day period, you will have to do it by a quick and easy voice phone If the Windows activation code reads my whole hardware setup for verification, can I legally install and get activated on my new system?

As for activation, my own experience with activating by phone (after the on-line activation failed) was that the Microsoft representative was very understanding. The whole process took less than 5 minutes to complete, and the phone call was free (ie, 800 number). All they really want to do is confirm that you have
