Activation?

Question

I installwd a new window XP SP2 using a genuine cd but when I try to activate the window it says that the cd key is incorrect. I confirmed it from cd cover and also found the key using other softwares but they give the same key

I opened microsoft websit but it asks me to buy another cd . i do not want to spend another Rs6495 for same thing

Answer 1

The key used was found by Microsoft on pirate sites and deactivated due to over-use.

Answer 2

If you have a genuine CD, then you can call up Microsoft customer care center and they should be able to provide you with a new key. From what I know, they do that for customers who have lost their key and come back after a year or so because they need to format and reinstall their computer. Of course, there are alternative ways to get a key.... but if you ask me, if you are genuine, it's good to try and stay genuine.

Answer 3

To tell you the truth I have a genuine copy of Windows XP, and everytime I install it, I cant ever get the key right the first time. Best thing to do is to keep on trying if it is a real gen copy. Try turning capslock on or off; things of that nature.

Answer 4

I think you should talk to Bill Gates. He is the only person who can explain you the matter. I f he doesnt pick up the call then the best thing would be break the disk you bought into pieces and buy a pirated one which would be around Rs.100.

Answer 5

Call Microsoft at the number provided.
