I recently purchased several (35) pc's at a government surplus wharehouse.
The machines all have valid win XP pro stickers. Since they are ex government
pc's the harddrives have been stripped out of them. I was using the "new" pc
to replace older ones here at work, and everything was fine till a week ago.
I had reinstalled and activated about 16 machines with no problems, but now I
am forced to call microsoft every time I activate one. They are valid codes,
but I think microsoft has become suspicious of so many activations from the
same IP. If the code is valid why should they care? Is there any way to prove
to them that these are legit reinstalls without calling after every
activation?
