my product key has been exceeded, because i've installed my win xp more than
one on a different computer. the reason i did that is because i'm using my
colleague computer and my office computer. now, i've just purchased my own
computer today. but when i activated my windows, i got this: my product key
has been exceeded. is there anyway so i can activate my windows rather than
purchase a new license?

now, i got the same problem with my office xp pro...

the reason why that is there is because you've used up the number of times for it to install but don't worry you can call microsoft and get a new product key but only one computer can have this activation code. My advice would be buying product keys for your second computer that way you'll not have this kind of problem. the illegal way to doing it is getting a forbidden key but the problem with this is you'll not get updates( it will be a virus land in your computer). but if you do buy a new computer make sure to get the reinstall disk for windows this would save a lot of time and a lot of money in the long run.
