petroid Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Hassle? It's pretty painless, except on the odd occasion where I have to speak to a representitive because my hardware is substantially different than the previous activation ;)...

.tony Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I don't see what's so hard about clicking Activate and letting it do it, then clicking OK? This seems a lot more time consuming. Either way it doesn't affect me, I'm on OEM XP.

+Warwagon MVC Posted April 16, 2008 MVC Share Posted April 16, 2008 Isn't it faster to just click activate than to go through this process?

NoLiMiT06 Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 LOL sorry to dig up a old thread but can you also burn it to a disc or does it have to be a floppy?

MightyJordan Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 LOL sorry to dig up a old thread but can you also burn it to a disc or does it have to be a floppy? You should be able to, but it'd be a massive waste of a disc, as the file is tiny enough to fit on a floppy disk. If you've got a USB drive, use that. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/189757-backup-windows-product-activation/page/2/#findComment-590190728 Share on other sites More sharing options...
