We don't have a volume lisence key (MS said we don't have enough PCs for it), so each machine has a separate lisence. The ghost image we have was taken with sysprep, but not done by me. i have since made some base images that don't require product activation, i think i will check to see what key they have. Also, a registry hack is far easier to do than call MS and enter an enormus number, twice

Hi everyone, We have a large amount of PCs at work that use Windows XP. Now and then some of them have to be re-imaged. The problem is, when they are re-imaged, Windows activation starts up, saying the product has to be activated within 30 days. The problem after that, is that doing the activation over the intenet, says that the machine has already been activated, and that you have to either enter a new key, or call up someone to get a 50,000 long character key. I have seen a registry hack out there that marks Windows as activated. Is this a legal hack for a PC that has previously been activated?? Thanks!

Umm, it's a brand new copy, and we purchased it, but it only came with the license... looks like we have to give them a call

Hi everyone, first post here, so pls be gentle! I am the owner of an office 2003 Standard volume license product key, but i am not the owner of Office 2003 Standard (as in, the physical disks). Where can i download/get the actual Office data i need? Am under the thumb a bit as i need to deploy Office 2003 onto a fair number of systems soon. I have tried the trial version of Office Standard, but won't accept the VL key when i choose to upgrade the trial to a full version. Help please! Thanks, Nick.
