Change XP Product Key

[Shawn319]

When you say you used the "Devils Own Cdkey", you mean you used the FCKGW Key? As i said before, this key is not unique to Devils Own (a pirated version of winXP Corp) because the FCKGW key works for all versions of Windows XP Corp (Legit or pirated). I was under the assumption that the FCKGW key only worked for Corp and not Pro (yes i know Corp is Pro but theres a differance).

If you do have Windows XP Corp then you should follow the guide mentioned in this thread and change the CD-Key to one you got from somewhere elce (such as a Keygen or by calling microsoft saying u lost your key). But if your copy of XP is just Pro and not Corp then i'm afraid the guide will not help and the only way to change your key would be to format/re-install windows.

If your Product Key is 555274-640-000035623xxx (xxx can be any 3 numbers) then you should not download/install Service Pack 1 untill you can get a new copy of Windows XP (with its own CD-Key), Or install WinXP with a new Cd-Key.

You wouldn't have to change your product id/cd key if you had any version of xp besides corp, for obvious reasons.

I don't use any pirated software. I know it seems like an innocent type of crime but, never-the-less it is a crime. It starts with pirated software and may escalate to mugging senior citizens for their Social Security checks. One must draw the line clearly and concisely when it comes to right and wrong. Many little wrongs escalate overtime into a giant/serious wrong (this is human nature and has no favorites).

yeah thats true....next time my neighbor needs my craftman hammer i will tell him i cant give it to him cause it will be unfair for the company that makes the hammer........wow capitalism way of life!!!! everything has a price...........what a shame

 

[Friend of Bill]

Good move! What did you think they taught in the Ivy League Institiutions...? Love thy neighbor? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you? No, capitalism my friend, capitalism...!

 

[renakuajo]

jejeje

you see we have become or are becoming a society where the $$ is most important than to be nice and helpful to others.........if a friend need a software i have hell yeah i'm gonnna give it to him to use it, he aint gonna profit from it.........o sea q si yo tengo un libro y alguien lo necesita no se lo debo prestar ya q el autor no va a ganar $$, ese es tu razonamiento???? o sea q esa persona se queda sin el conocimiento sin la oportunidad de aprender todo porque alguien no se ganas unas pesetas!!! wow that would be very sad......but yeah capitalism

Ok now i know there are legitimate reasons for this guide but to me it seems the only real reason for this would be if you own the Devils Own corporate version of XP. Now i have in the passed used some pirated versions of software and still do now and again ,but i dont dare bring it up in any of the forums for the fear of being flamed like crazy for this forum group is anti piracy, or at least on the surface it is. Now this guide seems to go directly against everything i read in the forums, it seems to be a work around for those who have pirated XP and are worried about not being able to install SP1. Do i think its wrong to post this? No, i infact copied this down for my own uses, whatever they may be. But do i think this goes against what has been stated before in the forums? Yes it seems to go directly against it, i have seen many post saying such as We do not support or offer any help in pirating software....ok now i leave this up for discussion. If you feel i am wrong in my thoughts please discuss i want to actually get feedback and not flames.
