WPA-Less verion of XP Gurm or others.

[High_Jumbllama]

I keep hearing mentions of versions of XP that do not require product activation. Can a regular user get this and what is it called?

[Marshmallowman]

its the coporate oem version. You buy it with license packs of 5?? or more users.

[High_Jumbllama]

Ahhhh. Hmm.

[The PIT]

Or work at a University where the licensing agreement allows you use it at home.

Or, comply with the spirit of things, and download a file (quasi-legal) called "Corpfiles". This overwrites the WPA files of Professional WinXP with the corporate versions.

Then, of course, you need a valid corporate key... *sigh* which is probably NOT legal to obtain... unless you use the PERFECTLY legal keygen.

So... corpfiles.zip (or corpfiles.rar) and the XP Suite Keygen. (Which is TECHNICALLY called the XP Suite Key Discoverer and Tester).

I'm happy with OEM w2k... and so are my friends

[Gurm]

OEM is another option. I haven't played with it much. You still have to have a valid OEM key, not easy to get - it's not the same as they key they give you.

And if you reinstall with the key they give you, you'll need to activate. The key they give you is just an ordinary pro key. Pain in the ass, I know.

P.S. The world exists in shades of grey - actually it's shades of turqoise, but y'all are colorblind.
