I was rebuilding a computer for a company, and i didnt have a copy of xp laying around. Had to do a total over haul of the systems hardware.
Anyway, I found a dell install cd. It only contained windows and no dell junk on it. It installed without needed a product key.
After installation, i needed up activate, and nothing i have tried has worked. I tried a retail code, i called MS and purchased a new product key for 10$. Still didnt work.
I have no problem buying a new license oem, retail whatever, but it is too expensive for the company to afford paying me to sit there for 3 hrs to do it.
How can i activate it?
I called DELL, they were spilling all sorts of nonsense about needed express tag codes before they can breath in my direction. They said if i buy a code from them i need to reinstall.
Microsoft, please help.... XP is old, has these pesky activation issues. I had no media that came with that computer as it was made by some company that makes custom desktops, and it has no branding. It came with legit OS on it. I have no CD, no COA, nothing.
Willing to pay the 89$ for a new license, but not a reinstall.
The product code masked there is not any of the 2 codes i tried. the first being a DELL OEM code, the second a MS provided Retail Code which i paid for.
here is the data from MGA Tool
