avito Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 HalloI have used the sysprep.exe to create an Image with Ghost 2003. Anytime I have copied the image on a new computer I was asked for a Product key. The Problem is that I have used the same Product key for all 6 Computers. Now each computer wants to be activated.Is there any chance that I will be abele to activate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 It doesn't matter that you used sysprep and ghost here.You're basically asking microsoft to activate 6 different computers with the same key... Of course they won't. But, there is a tool to change your key, just google it. (you still have to have 6 different "paid for" keys that you can activate) Unless that was a VLK - which wouldn't need to be activated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avito Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 Is there a way to create an Image with Sysprep.exe, so that I don’t need to activate the Windows XP Version? I tried already C:\Sysprep –activated -resesealbut it didn’t work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Well, if it was a VLK (not the case) you would not need to, but otherwise your windows has to be activated no matter what.I believe I had seen a way to backup your existing activation, but of course it would be for a specific computer only, and would need to be updated with hardware changes and such...-activated only prevents resetting the activation timer. It doesn't activate your windows by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeFiend Posted October 14, 2004 Share Posted October 14, 2004 I have google VLK, but I didn’t find the mining. What does it mean?VLK=Volume License Kit.They don't give that to individuals or small companies. Yours isn't. Sorry, you just have to activate them...

avito Posted October 14, 2004 Author Share Posted October 14, 2004 WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It really worked. I have copied from one activated Computer the wpa.dpl and pasted it to the Destination Computer. (Where I have installed the Image before)I have done it just once, but I am sure that it will work on the other 5 Computer as well.Thanks for you help, I really appreciate that!
