Q-Fireball Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I don't get it, with SP3 you should be able to install XP without a license key. But whenever I slipstream SP3 to my XP CD, I have to input a key, it won't work without a key. So my question is, do I have to wait for the final or do a have to buy a XP CD with SP3? Did somebody slipstream SP3 RC2 and does the installation work without a license key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-Fireball Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Which of the key files? Do I have to change the key later on? Do I have 30 days notifier for the key files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 use the one which matches your edition. There are Keys for all editions. Those keys are the 30 days trial keys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Fireball Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) I tried it with nlite and without nlite and it works well on vmware. Thank you guys! Edited February 20, 2008 by Q-Fireball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kd6aaj Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I hope we don't have to use a key, that would mess up our SLP installs.I did read somewhere else that if you install SP3 (as it is now?) you have 30 days to enter your product key, or be forced to re-activate XP.That seems awfully lame. Probably the only reason I have not tried it yet. My OEM pc has so many custom settings, I'm afraid they will get changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
