There are also VLK versions like I'm using in college right now that do
not need to be activated at all. There is no "Corporate" edition, that's
a warez term for a VLK version that needs no activation.
Even better we are given access to the MS Academic Alliance which grants
us free copies of everything MS has with license to use them until we
cease to be enrolled in the supported programs (AAS Network Admin/MCSE
in my case). =)
Right now in process of upgrading my home "bench" DC from 2K to 2K3.
MSDN copies are also worth it in test setups since it appears they
re-activate without problems by calling the automated activation hotline.

If you're testing hardware, chances are the build won't be together in
30 days, and therefore no need to activate.

I often wonder what places that test hardware all the time do about
this, my guess is a corporate version.

Had a major computer crash yesterday, ended up losing my main C drive a
Raptor 36G drive. ugh!
Anyway, I had to reinstall XP, now I'm getting the message to
activate it
within 30 days. Can I just ignore this or will bad things happen in 30
days? I plan to install the same XP on my new system in a couple of
months or so, will activating it preclude me from using it again on a
new
system?
Is there a way to disable that annoying pop-up window reminder?
thanks..
