No I don't think so , why would it . If you have a copy of pro it will have a s/n . Can you validate that copy only one way to try. But I would follow Andrew's advice and use his trick after you clean install.

Well.............. screwed me up enought tho , I can't enable auto updates not that I liked it anyway but still pisses me off . I'v installed on over 20 computers with different s/n # tho but still the phone is going to ring off the wall. :lol: Glad I'm leaving for holidays on Sunday. But still bothers me that my friends and uncle Bobs neighbour's are being inconvinienced. :D Wish I could find a way to charge them or something but that would be against my filesharing religion .
Hey in hindsight most were pretty computer illiturate so I'm sure I enabled auto updates. Boy I are so smart ! :D

Good point Ross but I'll stay with Ffox for now ,I'm looking to upgrade my hardeware sometime soon tho and when I do I'll give my white box computer store a valid key , he'll install the o/s with his volume license key and I'm good to go . By that time it will be Vista tho probably who knows ? :)
I'm not trying to be snotty but will cross that bridge when I get to it. I would rather buy a new computer than pay Microsoft money for a O/S . I'll make sure I get it with my new computer some how.
