i thought you could install xp on a 1 main computer + 1 laptop?Enyo said:If you said that they certainly would not give you one. You would need to buy another copy/license.

Yeah, but if you're prepared to go through that just to get a key, I suppose they will let it slip through. I'm guessing you're not the only one losing the key... But you're right, it sounds a bit too easy.NerdUprising said:kind of odd that for all the security measures... a little social hacking can get around all of it lol
I'd write it off as a loss and go with an OpenSource OS.NerdUprising said:right off the bat - let me say this - I can understand how this would be deemed "questionable in nature" but I give my word this is legit, stupid, but legit...
bought XP Pro (oem) for new puter Im putting together. Somewhere along the line, the plastic wrap on the disc/manual dissapeared, along with the sticker and the s/n... I searched for hours to find it, and I am still looking. I assume it was trashed, leaving me with a worthless install disc
so i bit the bullet... tried to search for a keygen, and i did find a few, but none gave an OEM serial (apparently different from the normal pro key)
so what in the hell am i supposed to do now? I dont want to shell out another 140 for another os disc, but i seem to be screwed without it
suggestions? PLEASE *sniff*

Called up MS, told them my sad story, and they cut me a break, handed me a new S/N after a little convincing

and as for why I opened it... I was excited, what do you want?!
