I thought you said that the only difference between Pro and Pro Corp was the activation files? 17MB is fucking huge for just that.Originally posted by Robert00000@5 July 2004 - 23:36
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.
In any case, I have a friend that bought XP Pro and installed it where he worked using generated Corp keys, so if it's not the actual keys that are different but the activation files themselves, why did neither installation need to be activated? His wasn't a 'student', 'library', government', 'SAS' or anything other than a PC World purchased copy.
Similarly, if one can't use a VLK on 'ordinary' 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'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't happen because the activation files don't actually activate on the Corp version, do they?
