Hi
I am running XP Home Retail which was last activated around 8 months ago. I have now integrated the network install of SP2 with my copy of XP Home and after formatting my computer, I carried out a clean install of XP and during setup, I used the CD Key that was provided with my copy,
After installation was complete, I connected to the internet and clicked on "Activate windows" and then got a message something; 'this key is unauthorised'.
How can this be? As already stated above, I last activated Windows around 9 months ago - which is way above the period of 120 days, so I should have been able to activate without problems.
Do users need a new key after integrating a service pack?
Regards
Dave
