p2pnet - rss feed: Microsoft XP activation change
p2pnet.net News:- Starting today, internet activation for Microsoft XP product keys printed on Certificates of Authority (CoA) labels from the top 20 OEMS will be disabled.
“The move should not affect most customers who have Windows XP preinstalled on their machines and have the copy of the operating system already activated or those who buy a boxed copy of Windows through retail,” continues PC Pro.
“The reason behind the move is that pirates have been stealing product keys from CoAs on OEM machines. They can do this because the product keys themselves are not directly tied to the copy of Windows. The activation mechanism only notes that the key.”

If you get the XP Pro 640 pid corp keygen and download an XP Corp ISO (preferably one with SP1, you don’t need SP2 if you have Zonealarm and dump MSIE/Outlook) then it works just fine. With the new 640 pid keygen you can not only generate keys that pass MS’s genuinecheck.exe test but you can generate keys for non-corp XP versions that will pass activation and even MS’s telephone technical support.
