XP license problem

Post by cak »

I have 1 OEM XP CD with COA, and 2 OEM license's. One of the license works just fine, the other gets rejected when installing XP. This has never happend to be before so I'm not sure what the problem is.

When SP1 came out and everyone was talking about it making the populare bootleg versions of pro not work anymore, I remember reading something that you could change the key within windows. Is this something i could try here?

Any other idea's?

That worked!

So it does also work for XP home.
