XP Product Key
If you must know how this is done then read this but I do not condone warez users and this is for expenimentation only you must use a valid key if using XP Pro.
If you just recently purchased XP corp. edition and dont want to do a new install to change your serial number. I noticed that there are a lot of requests on how to do this...
As with any registry edit ..Please back up your registry before doing the following.
1. Run regedit and go to:
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\Current Version\WPAEvents on the right double click on "oobetimer" and change at least one digit of this value to deactivate windows.
2. Choose run from start menu and type in this command:
"%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a" to get the activation screen and go to the second option which is activate by phone.
3. In the new screen choose the option to change product key, and type in the new product key (Corporate one only).
4. Close that window, reboot your system and enter the command in step 2 for the second time to verify your activation , you should see "windows is already activated".
Ok keep you's happy for a little while.
