Rebuild

[Glenn Clark]

Hi all

I need to do a rebuild of multiple XP pro machines. Is there a way I can
save off the activation details so I don't have any agro with the pc's when
I have rebuilt them and don't have to re activate them

Cheers

It really isn't a big deal to reactivate systems. If they haven't been
activated recently, you will be able to activate them online. Otherwise,
yes, it's a phone call, but there should be no problem.

The only way you can avoid activation for XP systems is to use a Volume
License version. Even with that, you'll still run in to WGA checks later.
