Usually on a laptop computer, the company you bought it from (HP for example) has already aquired all the licenses so there is no need to activate it. What they do is make the restore disks so they will only work with your computer or one simular to it. That way, you cant use restore disks from an HP laptop on a Dell laptop.

just confirming the above answer. Has to do with HP providing their own OEM version of WinXP. So this means that if you have any issues with your OS you can only call HP for support, microsoft will not help you.
