Subject: Re: Re[2]: XP activation question
Hi Mike
I did as you advised, entered my product key
and got a "validation complete" message. So,
I guess it's activated now?
Regards

Hi
While on the subject, how do I tell whether my
XP has been activated? I have a new PC (6 days
old :-). I downloaded all updates without any
prompts to activate first.
I read in the help files that there should be an
icon in the system tray to remind one to activate,
but I don't have one there. So, how do I know
whether it's been activated or not?
Thanks for any responses.

Thanks, Spunky. It all appears legal. It
should be - it's a Mecer.

Also, if it's not activated, Windows will warn you that you
only have so many days before Windows gets disabled if you
do not activate it. Another thing is most store-bought
computers that came with Windows already installed specially
the name brands are already activated since they are using
an OEM version of WinXP which are versions that do not need
activation. The computer manufacturers gets a license for
each of the OEM they sell I think.

Hi Irene,
yes XP was probably registered when the OS was loaded by the builder.
