Just install XP and activate it. If you fail online activation, call MS with the provided number and explain the situation.

When you said that your XP license was used over 3 times, were all three times on the same computer, or were they on different machines? If they were all on the same computer, just do what lxskllr said. If they were on different machines, and any of those other machines are still running their copy of XP, then you will need to purchase a new legal copy of XP for this computer since you can only use a single XP license on one computer at time.

If you don't have a legal (licensed), activated copy of Windows, you can't download security patches and updates from Microsoft. That's what the Windows Genuine Advantage warning message is telling you.
