Ghosting and Activation with XP Pro

[Mark]

I have created a good image of a workstation using Norton Ghost. I am going
to be placing the image onto new computers with very similar componets.
When I do this, it does not ask me to reactivate XP pro. How do you place a
new activation code for XP when it doesn't ask for one? I don't want to
have mutiple computers with the same licence. Any help would be great.

thanks

One licence = one computer. if you wish to put XP on other PC's you will
still need to purchase a licence for each one.

You need to run "Sysprep" on the computer before you make the image.
This will remove the SID's and Keys from the image.
Then when you restore the image it will go to the setup and ask for the keys
and activate again.

The Sysprep is on the CD.

That's not what he asked.
