Thread: Windows vista 30 days to activate

I have reformatted my pc and renovate disc then it say 30 days to put in the 25 digit product key that was my previous product.

You can't install XP devoid of a product key so you must have either entered it during the installation, or it's built in to the repair disc. Since you mention a 30 day limit, you're probably asking about activation. If your putting in is legal, all you need to do is activate online. If it's illegal, do a Google search for "make xp 100% genuine".
