| | Windows XP License If I buy a builder's edition of Win XP, or the Home version of Win XP (because I have read that in 6 months or so Win XP will not be sold any longer) will I still be able to activate my copy (or copies) in 9 months or a year, or so, when I go to install it for the first time? |

| | Re: Windows XP License Yes, you will still be able to activate it. Microsoft will still have the online servers as well as phone activation for Windows XP for as long as it's supported, possibly longer. -- Dustin Harper dharper@xxxxxx http://www.vistarip.com mistercrisp wrote: Quote: > If I buy a builder's edition of Win XP, or the Home version of Win XP > (because I have read that in 6 months or so Win XP will not be sold any > longer) will I still be able to activate my copy (or copies) in 9 months or a > year, or so, when I go to install it for the first time? |
