By using PE Builder I have created an installation CD of my OEM factory
installed HP Windows XP Home Operating System. As a test case I installed it
to a VMware Workstation 6 virtual machine. I wanted to be sure the install
would work. I accessed a piece of freeware off the internet to find out my
CD key. Using that I installed it to the virtual machine. Now the
installation keeps requesting an activation and tells me I have 30 days.
Presumably this means that within 30 days of installation the Operating
System will die.
How can I now use my OEM license to activate this installation?
I mean after all, I am the legitimate owner of this copy of Windows XP Home.
Thanks.
