I installed winxp just now and when i went to activate it it says
"According to our records, the number of times you can activate Windows with this product key has been exceeded. Please enter a different product key..."
Riiiiiiiiiiiight, lemme search google for another legit key :disgust:

Wtf am i supposed to do now? This is a legit copy of winxp, i've had some hd problems in the last couple weeks so i installed winxp couple of times. But for ms to tell me i cant install it anymore is f@#$in stupid.

Give them a call.

Next time, wait a week or two before activating. No need to do it right away.

Yeah, just call them. I have installed a legit Win XP on one of my machines (test machine)more than 50 times in the past 2 years or so.

Search google for FCKGW or RHQQ2. Mikemike wasn't being helpful since I don't think you can get all the service packs with it. Calling Microsoft is the right solution.

Your key is fine and you don't need to change it. Choose activate by phone and call 1-888-571-2048

Yup calling them seemed to fix it.
FCKGW wont allow xp updates so whats the point.
