You have up to 30 days after the initial installation to activate Windows XP. If you do not do this within the alloted time frame the system will not boot. If install Windows XP from the same CD to a different computer and attempt to activate it, a dialogue box will appear suggesting a suspected license agreement violation. It will stop to work in 30 days.

∙ 11y agowell unlike windows 7, well once you try to log in a pop will say your copy of windows is not activated something like that it'll give you a choice of activating windows now (yes,No) the only solution for this is to enter the product key. Or reinstall windows xp using your CD and it will give you another 30 day trail but with a cause of losing all you stuff life is never fair if you tell me.
