I decided to format my computer and once it had completed, I installed my network drivers and tried to activate Windows, I got an error which said something like I had exceeded the amount of times Windows could be activated, and I need to enter a new key or phone support.
My copy of XP is one from my Universitys MSDNAA so it's legit, and I've used it numerous times to re-install and activate.
What will happen when I ring support tomorrow, will they give me a new product key which I will use from now on and use again when I need to format in the future, or will I have to phone support again?
I didn't think there was a limit on the amount of times you could activate Windows, as long as you don't change any hardware.
Thanks - Steve
