Hi
I don't know if this info is of any use but I was playing around with a key changing utility (bored I suppose and I like fiddling around) and I launched it and changed the key but the activation window came back up. I closed this window as stated in info but upon checking with the "WinInfo" tool, I got:
Activation Status: Required. 0 Days left
Now the key was actually changed and the Product ID as shown in System Properties had also changed. The key I used was not one of those blacklisted. I then changed the key again to the original one (again, not blacklisted) that I had installed XP with and, which was accepted during upgrade to SP1, but again WinInfo told me the same story....Activation Required....0 Days left.
Well, unless I'm wrong, any, and I mean ANY keys produced by the KeyGen will be kicked out.
Comments appreciated please.
As for me, I'm going to install my "legal" copy of XP Home OEM version, using my "legal" key.
Regards
