Andromeda43 Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 My understanding may be flawed, but it's always been my understanding that each registration key is locked in to a particular version of XP. So a key for the corporate version will only work on that version and NO other.Doing otherwise would be illegal under the strictest regulations governing the licensing of a Windows OS.Discussing how to do anything illegal would not be permitted under forum rules.Live long and Prosper, B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janus zeal Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 There is no way to make a serial from one version of windows work with another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zxian Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 If you've got the licence for XP Pro - why not use XP Pro? Something doesn't seem quite right here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synapse Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I wouldn't say it's impossible, with the right knowledge about how windows works you could do it.I can't post how to do it because of forum rules, but i have looked up how to do pretty much this same exact thing so i know it is possible.
