SP3 product key not working

[MarcoM]

Hello,

I've slipstreamed SP3 into our Volume License copy of XP Pro. When I install
our key will no longer work.

Anyone know of issues with SP3 changing the installation type (Volume, OEM,
retail...) when it is integrated into a particular installation point? or
what else might be the cause?

Thanks.

Perhaps - since SP3 is not final...?

It could be a problem in Software distribution folder. If it is the reason then you need to clear this folder. It will help you to prevent this problem.

Here is the procedure to clear the Software distribution folder http://www.completepcpedia.com/service_pack.html
