Best Answer

If you have a valid license key to use Windows XP with, then, no, you do not have to pay to reactivate Windows. However, if you have lost your license key then you will have to pay Microsoft to obtain a new one.

If you bought Windows XP on its own then there should be either a card with your license key on it, or a sticker with your license key on it in the packaging. If your computer came with Windows XP then there should be a Microsoft sticker on it somewhere with your license key on it.

Activation is only to ensure that you actually payed for your copy. It does not incur any additional costs.
