I recently purchased a legit OEM version of xp pro. The COA is completely legit and I purchased it from a legit company. I am waiting to hear back from them. Anyway, I performed a clean install on a dell system that previously had the oem version of xp home installed. When it came time to activate, it tells me "that according to our records the number of times you can activate Windows using this product key has been exceeded" . What could the possible problem be here.? Is there only one possibility? That someone from the company that I purchased it from stole the key and installed it on a system? Or is there something else that I am missing?
thanks
