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'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?

Using a real live MS disk titled "Microsoft XP Professional" and using Corp keys from the Blue Key gen, I have installed and avoided activation without changing any files on the disk.

Be wary of BL generated keys, clocker, cuz M$ are believed to have coded into SP2 detection for them.
Google for XP SP2 640 for more.

so is there a keygen that wont get detected?

I find a bunch of different reviews on SP2 and on logitech z-640's lol.


What were we meant to see?

Really?

O, those crafty devils in Redmond!
T'will be irrelevant to me as I shall be running a completely legal version of Server 2003 by then anyway.
Not to mention, my XP Pro "student edition" is valid, too.

But I may just start using MS BOB and avoid the problem altogether.

There you go with the "we" thing again.
Are "we" some sort of secret society, like the Masons or the Justin Timberlake Fan Club?

Yep, thats what 'we' are, how did you know. Have you been following us ?


As for the two versions, there is only one verion of HOME if we exclude the OEM version. There is an OEM version of Pro too. OEM's are pre-activated, so don't need activation on the machine it was intended for.

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

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.

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.
