Windows XP activation

[vipin]

Hi,
I was an msdn subscriber and I have the msdn cds for windows XP.The
subscription recently expired.But I have a question,Will I be able to
activate my installation somehow? Right now I don't have access to the
subscriber portion on msdn. I am a developer and am need to install XP
desperately.

Can someone from microsoft clarify this?
thank you

Hi Vipin

If you're a 'dev', why did you let your MSDN sub lapse? Why not try the PK(s) that you have from MSDN to see if they will let you activate?

What is PK? My subscription has lapsed because I don't have money to
subscribe again.
thank you

Hi

If you already have the MSDN CDs, you would have been provided with the 25 alphanumeric (P)roduct (K)eys for the installation(s) - yes/no?
