Thread: Windows XP Corporate Question

  1. #1
    I plan on building a new computer soon.

    I hear Corporate doesnt require activation or something?
    So can you pirate Corporate and still get updates and junk?

    If not, then ill just end up buying XP.

    You're right. No activation required.
    Updates work if you have a good key (PID 640).

    Look at your System Properties screen. (Right click My Computer, select Properties)

    See the Registered to section? The third item is the PID number.

    LOL @ Vampiro . I downlaoded my copy of xp and it had the name X-Repack on it, and it was the corporate edition. The key that came with it has PID 640, and microsoft thinks my windows is valid
