This suggested to you when you click on the small activation key. Just follow the procedure, and especially with a phone whose keys are convenient. Answer: When installing Windows XP, you must activate the system. This can be tedious for those who frequently install their operating system or for those who relocate after a crash. To avoid this recurring activation, simply copy the file in System32 wpa. Then, after any new installation of the OS, simply restore the file saved to avoid having to activate Windows XP.
Beware, after you reinstall your system must restart in Safe Mode, rename the file in wpa. For version XP Home Edition, you must copy the files "wpabaln. Join Date May Posts Re: Windows Activation Message cause error We have identified the problem as it being a suspension of online activation due to the maximum number of times a machine with Windows XP can be activated via internet.
Click Change Product Key, enter the new key new product key, and then click Update. Double click on the button and follow the guidance. Were you able to pass Windows Validation successfully? Please post again if you need further assistance. Thank you. Activation does not have anything to do with moving people from Win XP Well, I laughed out at all the rubbish answers from WGA forum volunteers here.
Sorry, but can't help. All I want to say at the beginning is, it's December already, people, and please fix it before , could ya? It is NOT that we cannot activate XP matters; it is that we cannot activate it the way it used to be really bothers. Com'n people! Then bang! It told me the license key I am using has exceeded the maximum allowance. I just used it half an hour ago, for once, on the exact same machine with everything, including partition, unchanged.
I've been using XP for years and every once in a while, I reinstall it. Even monkey knows XP won't have any problem when activating if you reinstall it on the same PC with no hardware change or hard disk partition change. I wanna know what in the world is happening over there at Microsoft? Are people getting crazy?! I am really shocked by this post. For one thing, this is an issue firsly got public back in May. Now it's December already, but it is still as unsolved as it was.
For another, seemingly, people's plain requests here are simply way too beyond those so-called WGA Forum Volunteers' comprehension. For a OS that is 7 years old, do you really think there is any chance that any possible people who, by the way, has either TechNet or MSDN subsriptions, is not famillair with how to activate Windows XP??!!
Don't call yourself like that when all you can ever answer is give Microsoft a call. Don't you tell me to call Microsoft when it is just the second time I use it in a month on a same PC on a same partion of a same hard drive, or in simpler expression that most people like me would easily unserstand, a reinstllation!

Thursday, May 1, AM. Wednesday, June 4, PM. Here is the process to activate your xp product via phone: 1. Start the Activation wizard.
You can start this by clicking the Activation icon in your System Tray. Enter your product key if you haven't already. You may be prompted to enter your character product key before you can proceed. If you don't have a product key, click here. Select "Yes, let's activate Windows over the Internet now". Windows will try first to connect via your network Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection.
If no network adapter is detected it will look for a dial-up modem. Read the privacy statement and decide if you want to register. Registration is optional, and now that Windows XP is no longer supported, there's no real point to it. To skip registration, select "No, I don't want to register now; let's just activate Windows".
Wait for Windows to activate. As long as you have an internet connection the wizard will automatically connect and activate your copy of Windows. Contact Microsoft if necessary. If you have used your Windows XP product key on a different computer or installed new hardware, you may be prompted to contact Microsoft by phone.
This is a step required by Microsoft to prevent piracy. As long as you are not violating your license, you should have no problem getting the support rep to activate your account. Go to source You will be asked by the support rep to provide the "installation ID", which can be found on the activation wizard screen. After providing the installation ID, Microsoft will verify and will provide you with the code you need to enter to activate Windows.
Method 2. If you don't have broadband internet or a dial-up modem, you can activate your copy of Windows XP over the phone. You may be prompted to enter your character product key before you can proceed with the activation process. Choose the phone option. Select "Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative to activate Windows now. Select your region.
Microsoft provides local numbers for most areas, or toll-free numbers that you can call from anywhere. Use the drop-down menus to select the number that is best for you. Select the language of your choice. English is usually the second language offered, which is number 2 on the dial pad. Select the product you want to activate. In our case, we want to activate a Windows XP, so push number 1 on the dial pad. Call Microsoft and provide the 54 digit "installation ID".
Use the provided number to contact Microsoft. You will be asked by the rep to provide the 54 digit "installation ID". This is displayed on the same screen as the phone numbers. Enter the 35 digit code the rep gives you. After verifying your installation ID, the support rep will give you an activation code. Enter this code into the boxes at the bottom of the window to finish activating. Method 3. Know when to do this. Sometimes when you're re-installing Windows with non-standard hardware, you may not be able to access Windows in order to activate.
You'll get a message that you must activate in order to proceed, but you can't connect to the internet and the "installation ID" is not generated. If this happens to you, you'll need to use Safe Mode to fix your drivers and activate Windows.
Boot into Safe Mode. You'll need to fix the problems with your device drivers. This will allow you to either get an internet connection or generate an installation ID so that you can activate over the phone.
Reboot your computer and rapidly strike F8 as it boots up. This will open the Advanced Boot Options menu.
