saiz66 Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 I have a trial period of windows XP and it asked to enter the product key. I was too lazy so I told them to remind me later. And I am still waiting for them to ask me to enter my product key. Is there a way I can enter it myself? And if so where and how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Veteran Posted January 21, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 21, 2005 There should be a key icon next to the clock at the bottom of your screen. Double click it, and you'll get the activation screen again (Y) Title edited, Moved to Windows Client Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G. Veteran Posted January 21, 2005 Veteran Share Posted January 21, 2005 Type in the following from Start > Run: %systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /r The registration screen should appear and you can register Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerLG Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Change the command above to /a and go to register by phone. Then select change windows key (or something similar) then enter the reg key. The next time you start Windows, you will be asked to Activate it. Hope this helps.

RightWing Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 THe above line will work. Also you should have an icon somewhere near your Windows Update icon when you open All Programs from the Start menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
