what I do when I need to activate windows is take a walk into a nearby computer lab.
This computer lab is full of computers that run Red Hat linux. Frotunately for me(but unfortunately for the poor slobs who had to buy those machines) Micorsoft required them to buy windows licenses for all those computers. Each one of those machines has a sticker on it with a working activation number. Every time I need one, I just walk in there and write it down. I figure, the kids in the lab arent using those windows codes, I might as well prevent those poor lab builders who had to buy machines bundled with windows from wasting their money by never using those expensive little stickers.
I probably shouldnt have shared that though, now all sorts of ppl will try it and the stickers will stop working.
dont try this at home kids. |
I did that during high school, my calculus teacher got pissed cause he was also the network admin. |

ok i don't get it
With XP, it knows your overall system config. EVery time you reactivate, it checks to see if your system is still the same (mobo, etc). Wouldn't that matter? Ugh, it's been a long day.
ok wait i get it, school computers don't even use XP. |

actually, school computers do use XP, and that's not even it...when you activate xp, they don't ask for any of that information...you can voluntarily send it to microsoft for their "database building purposes", otherwise they don't require that information.... |
