On my vb6 editing computer I still use a copy of Windows XP that originally had 5 activations.
Over the years I have changed or reformatted my drive and reinstalled it more than 5 times.
The last few times I had to phone Microsoft and beg as the automatic method told me I had exceeded 5.
When I recently re-activated, the automatic activation worked again.
Does this mean that seeing Microsoft have abandoned XP I can now reactivate as many times as I like?
Anybody heard anything about this?
