Q. What ports does Windows XP use during product activation?
A. XP uses the standard HTTP port (port 80) and HTTPS port (port 443) for product activation. To confirm that these ports are available, try connecting to both ports by entering the following addresses in your Web browser:
If you receive an error, check with your administrator to determine whether your organization has blocked either port and whether you need to change your firewall client configuration.

Q. How do I activate Windows XP from the command line?
A. Windows XP will typically remind you to activate the product (most users will have 30 days to activate XP after installation). To activate XP manually, you can use the Start menu shortcut in the System Tools Accessories folder. At the command prompt, type
oobe/msoobe /a
In case you're wondering, msoobe stands for "Microsoft Out of Box Experience."
