wait so whats the answer to this thread?? because I dl&#39;ed the corp version and already have a storebought XP PRO ( need keygen or crack to use it again tho)...im wondering if i should install the corp, or install the retail version but use the blue list keygen or that other crack

Install your store bought XP Pro with a generated key.
WTH, if we&#39;re (excepting Robert) all wrong you&#39;ve only wasted an hour anyway. [/b][/quote]
Can you post here if the generated key works?

What is the big deal about not registering with MS. I dont understand, why should he use a generated key when there is one already on the box. Is this just so he can put it on multiple computers? I read a thread before about how it makes no difference if you register with MS or not, because their isnt a risk and they can&#39;t get any information from you anways.

I have talked with m&#036; about obtaining a preview copy but they will only point me to a reseller. Since I am not willing to shell out the
money for copies of the software licenses for 21 machines even with the discount for npo and volume licensing we do not want to purchase all the copies up front without first trying it with our network and seeing if our resident tech feels the need to use this OS. In any wize I would like someone to email me with a place I can obtain a corporate cd, as our headquarters has a vlk I can use legally but the actuall cd to install it with is not in our possesion. Please help point me to a location of an iso or other way to obtain the disk. I can slipstream the SP2 RC2 into it once I have it, so that is not neccesary and we have full intention on purchasing the software if it is worth the upgrade. I just want to make sure we are not better off upgrading all our Hardware w/ oem software from dell business solutions.

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE....damn ministers and their piracy.

I don&#39;t think we were talking about that so I&#39;m gonna leave that for one of robert&#39;s personalities to answer tomorrow.

yeah, if you&#39;ve bought and paid for your version then IMO it would be wise not to let your friends use the activation details too. justincase




edit: just read your edit about the minister well I&#39;m also a minister and want a hacked pass to the playboy site, just so I can print out the pictures and burn them

The difference between a Pro and Corp version of XP is about 17 Meg of files. You can download these files from the net to turn a Pro into a Corp.

I thought you said that the only difference between Pro and Pro Corp was the activation files? 17MB is fucking huge for just that.

In any case, I have a friend that bought XP Pro and installed it where he worked using generated Corp keys, so if it&#39;s not the actual keys that are different but the activation files themselves, why did neither installation need to be activated? His wasn&#39;t a &#39;student&#39;, &#39;library&#39;, government&#39;, &#39;SAS&#39; or anything other than a PC World purchased copy.

Similarly, if one can&#39;t use a VLK on &#39;ordinary&#39; Pro because the activation files are different, by the same token one could not use an ordinary Pro key on the Corp version, otherwise it&#39;d be pointless to put out two different versions.
If this is the case then we have many people hallucinating SP2 activation problems... which surely can&#39;t happen because the activation files don&#39;t actually activate on the Corp version, do they?

The hot weather is boiling my brain and this topic is draggin on too long. I&#39;ve got two businesses to run so give me a break

I&#39;ll answer only a couple more questions after this and thats it, you will have to do research to find the answers.

re - Activation files, if it were as simple as one or two files needing replacment then people would be able to pir@te XP with ease. The download of files to convert a Pro to a Corp is 17 Meg in size. These files over lap the code for Pro, so most of it doesn t relate to the activation.

re - Installation of Pro by your friend. Was it a retail version? If so it would raise questions about the recent versions of pro. Releases of software always change as do their tactics to prevent pir@cy.


By the way the versions of XP i use are legit just in case there are spies here

Only answer a couple more questions? Shit, I&#39;d be happy if you answered just one of mine. Should be simple for those in the &#39;know&#39;.

Raising questions about recent versions, PC World don&#39;t do anything other than retail, and my friend paid about £170 shortly after its release. [/b][/quote]
I suspect with recent Pro&#39;s (don&#39;t ask me how recent) microsoft may be saving money by just producing one version (Corp).

It makes economic sense as people determined to get one over M&#036; can use the keygen in any case, so why waste money producing two versions. just have two types of keys on one.

The reason to use a keygen is :

To install the same copy on multiple machines. All versions except Corp and OEM&#39;s require activation.

The reason to use a Corp version:

To avoid the hassle of activation, so you can use the same key on multiple machines, unless the key is blocked. The only blocked keys are the ones passed around the net.

About OEM&#39;s

Oem&#39;s don&#39;t need activation if they are used on the machine they were created for. It doesn&#39;t matter if the OEM disk is of a HOME, PRO of any other. However, as soon as you change a piece of hardware the activation request pops up.

Advice

If you own a legit version there is no need to use a keygen other than the reasons above.

Given the reasearch that M&#036; put in on anti-piracy, it would (and does) surprise me if they didn&#39;t come to this conclusion while still developing XP.

I would use a keygen because I like playing around with my hardware and changing my os every couple of months.

wait....if i use the Corp, since the key&#39;s are the same, wouldnt they block the updates or something?

If it&#39;s not one of the banned keys then it will be ok. Just avoid the keys on the net.

[XxKrNxStyLeZxX]

what about the key that came with the corp (info in the notepad)...wouldnt that be considered from the net?
