I have 2 COA stickers that are about 6 months old.
Neither of them say OEM version on them.
I have a WinXP Pro CD OEM w/o SP1 incorporated.
I originally had 5 COA and I used 3 of them. They work
fine.
I now have a Win XP Pro OEM CD w/ SP1 already integrated.
I can install with thse keys, but upon activation I get an
error saying the product key is invalid.
I tried both, then got a sticker that had OEM on it and it
worked. My problem is this. I want to use these on
computers that I am not keeping. I have to give the XP CD
to the other people. If I give mine away, my keys won't
work
if I need to re-install. And I can't use the new CD w/SP1
to install with the stickers I have.
What is going on with the activation?
Why won't this work?
