coldfire Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Hey guys, I'm trying to fix up a machine here for a customer of the shop i work for. The daft woman has lost her windows xp licence. What i need to know is whether there is a way to remove the licence like you could in wnidows 98, after the setup process and installation of drivers and programs is complete. What i want to do is leave it like it was the day she got it, setup with everything but she had tio accept the EULA licence and type in her serial number.Any suggestions would be great, many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astalavista Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 1. if she lost her licence u just call up Microsoft to get a new one.2. if u plan do anything illegal MSFN is not the venue for it.3. Recently microsoft offered amnesty to many british nationals using pirated XP w/ retail versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldfire Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 I'm not planning on doing anything illegal, but this woman is a nightmare. How can it be illegal if I want to remove the license after everything has been setup?! HP, compaq and IBM are just a few examples of companies that do this all the time!I just want the OEM license and Key entry screen to appear when she turns on the machine for the first time. She will have to enter her license to continue using the machine... hence this is legal. There must be a way to do it as there was in win98.
