I'm not sure what your problem is, but think it is that you have a new
machine that came with XP installed, and it has not asked you yet to
activate it?

If so, this will have been authorised by the makers in a different way,
by the system checking on the 'BIOS' on your motherboard, and being
happy as long as that is the same. This is called BIOS locking, and
means you never have to activate, and can change hardware as much as you
like, as long as you keep that motherboard (or if it fails, one provided
as replacement by the makers)
