George6156 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Hello allThis is probably a stupid question but...I have a Product Key that came with my orginal XP disc. I created a cd slipstreamed with SP1 and did an unattended install and it worked fine.I created a cd with post SP1a hotfixes and tried an unattended install. When Setup "enters" my origianl key from winnt.sif, it gives an error: "The Product Key you entered is not Valid".Is there a way to "update" my key or get a new one?Thanks.The information in these forums in invaluable!

If it was black listed it would not work with SP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lallius Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 try adding the following under the unattended section in your winnt.sif[unattended] AutoActivate=YesIf you already activated the cd key once, it should give no problems.If the key is black listed I give it little chance......hope it works for you.....greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
