Hello,
If someone had a dodgy copy of Xp pro on their pc how could they
legitamise it and how much would it cost?. Im not sure about it but i
think it is the "corporate" licence product which had the key which
was leaked or something like that?
Thanks
 
You'll have to purchase a new "Full Version" of Windows XP Professional
and perform a "Repair Install" using the new Windows XP Pro CD and Product Key
that comes with it. (You cannot simply change the Product Key)

You need to purchase and use a _legitimate_ full retail copy of
WinXP Pro to perform a repair (a.k.a. in-place upgrade) installation,
using the new CD and Product Key.

Remember, you should also report whomever sold you the pirated
software to the pertinent law enforcement agencies; you've been
defrauded.
