Is new serial required for SP2??

[Shikhar]

I have a licensed Windows XP Corporate edition disc. I want to create an unattended Win XP SP2 disc (I know the the steps). Will the serial code I got with Corporate edition work or do I have to get a new one??

[iinfi]

i think it will work .....
wait for some one else to answer

[drvarunmehta]

Yes. If you have a licensed copy, it will definitely work.

[Shikhar]

Thanks.

Don't worry go Ahead... Nowadays licensed users have to worry than the pirated users..

You are a liicenced user, it will definitely work...But don't share your copy to your friends....then MS will deactivate
your licence serial no.

No it doesnt, why it should require in the first place? it is just service pack not a ner version of OS....

101% works with old serial...

I think it works on the real serial code. Mess up with pirated stuffs and u won't get any help

[shwetanshu]

i m not sure about the original, i have a pre-loaded OS, so i dont care about it, but my frnds who have a pirated version, had to search for a new serial number after integrating SP2 to the original CD.

[icecoolz]

why even talk of Pirated version ? The guy clearly states he has a original version of Windows XP then whats with the PM and all...sheesh :roll:

[shwetanshu]

Even the original CD integrated with SP2 asks for a new serial number if not done by aadipa's way given in Tutorial section. Even our school which has ORIGINAL WINDOWS XP PRO on each & every computer installed from a multiuser licenced cd wen integrated with SP2 refused to accept the old serial number.

This is wat my computer teacher told me. And i know that the windows was original coz i had installed it on some computers by myself.

If you have alicensed copy then it will work definetely and if u have a pirated copy then sorry

[icecoolz]

dude...we just installed SP2 on over 400 machines here. No hassles what so ever. And the guy is asking if he can do an unattended installation on machines which have original Windows installed. So I dont see any issues.

[theraven]

which was the "original" cd key may i ask ?
post the first 5 letters of it
im so sure it was an FCKGW one
and do not even THINK of helping anyone with anything illegal
on the forums or off the forums ( that we know off )
consider it a warning

[Shikhar]

[edit:techno] flaming a moderator is serious NO boss iam putting you on a warning

[theraven]

hmmm im gonna let the other mods warn u for that psot
anyways for YOUR information if ur cd key is valid then SP2 has to accept it !!
so why dont u do a lil research before u open that big trap of urs

[drvarunmehta]

This is getting onto a pointless discussion.

Original keys ALWAYS work

If you don't believe me, try it out yourself. And in the rare case that it dosen't, you can call the Microsoft hotline.

PLEASE LOCK THIS POST NOW

Well! Shikhar read this : "SP2 willn't accept the keys which R specified inside its list of leaked-out keys! . SO better to say keys tht R listed in SP2's menu somewhere R fake " tht's only Y Theraven said tht ... dunt get furious its alright ..

Human can have misunderstandings! U have original cooool! fine install SP2 . it will surely get installed! dunt U worry! ...Aur Theraven ji! yeh bhin koi tareeka hain mehmaan se baat karne ka

Y do U get so angry at times! :roll:

[rajas]

Here we Go!!!
It starterd all over again. We've seen a big war of words ended when one posted "how many use pirated software" letz not change the topic here. as we all know, we can use the same key for SP2,no issues need not get a new one.

Letz not get over to piracy thatz never ending issue.
For the post by raven, I donno the keys which are marked as Invalid other than the renowned and most pirated key ever known FCKGW.

lol and the worst part was i was talkin to shwetanshu and not shikhar
now if someones takin punga with me why would i shut up ! ?
it was quite simple when shwetanshu said itwont accept the key .. it simply means its a pirated key no matter what
shikhar thot im tellin him its a pirated key .. well unfortunately if its not accepting the key in sp2 .. it IS pirated as has been said 5 times earlier
and thanks rajas for that list !! shouldve posted that in the first place

I am locking this thread..since the poster lied to others that he is having legal key...

He has got pirated key...i have got the proof with me but it would not be right to disclose it here so on that basis i am locking the thread...
