I need to reinstall Windows XP Home. But I allready did this twice. How
often can I active my WinXP home? This is going to be the third time, I
don't know if I can activate XP home wtihout problems. Does anybody know
this?


Thanx
 
Hi

So long as you don't 'drastically' alter your hardware setup, there should
no limit to the number of times you can activate XP without having to
contact Microsoft.
 
I thought you could only install it two or three times. But this is much
better.

thanks!

There's no limit to the number of times you can reinstall and
activate the same WinXP license on the same PC. Nor is there ever a
charge. If it's been more than 120 days since you last activated
that specific Product Key, you'll most likely be able to activate via
the Internet without problem. If it's been less, you might have to
make a 5 minute phone call.

Here are the facts pertaining to activation:
