Windows XP Activation after Remote Install

[Guest]

After running Remote Install, I get the activation wizard appearing, I enter
the correct key and it tells me it can not activate the product I have to
call, I tried a keychanger didn't work either. My question is where does it
pull the key from after you boot after doing a remote install, it's the same
key on all 15 machines. I will have to call to activate it, is there any way
to get this change where over the internet it will activate itself?

Thanks,

Bill

Is this version of XP an OEM version? If yes, then there is no way around
this. MS now requires us to phone up the Product Activation line, since
people were selling branded OEM versions without qualifying hardware and
others were "copying" demo unit COAs.

Yes it's an OEM COA Version!
