installing windows xp on two pc's
 

I installed windows xp on my second pc and used the same serial as the first one. now the second pc wants to "activate windows to prevent piracy". It says I have 30 days to activate it or I wont be able to use it. My question is, what if the pc had no modem? how does that work?

ur fucked either way...

I can get some XP keys I have hookups....

if ya interested

e-mail me: w e b m a s t e r AATTT bigwhorehouse.com

Should have unplugged your ethernet cable when you were installing it.

for free?

what if I uninstall then install again with ethernet card unplugged

Go ahead and activate on the 2nd PC. If it has been 6 months since the 1st activation, it should be OK.

If not, call MS and claim you had to replace the MB and then reinstall.

Beauty is, it is a valid lie. They will give you the activation key.

I have the same key on 6 computers networked together... what the hell are you smoking?

XP Pro Corporate Version solves that problem too..

they're checking to make sure it's not a pirated copy sold at some flea market. They're not checking to see if it's a duplicate key. Only that it's a valid MS key.


sheesh.

i have a corp version and have installed it on like 30 computes for friends never a prob but if you did what you said then it will lock up in 30 days
