Acitvating Windows XP PRO Upgrade

Guest

Hi

I'm trying to activate XP Pro on a computer that has an illegal XP PRO
product key. I've got a legitimate verison of XP Home and have just purchased
the XP PRO SP2 upgrade CD but when I try to change the product key in the
product key changer (using the new XP PRO UPG key) it tells me that the key
is invalid. What are my options?

Thanks in advance.

"The product key changer"?

You will have to run a repair install with the XP Pro upgrade cd and key.
