committed to protecting your privacy and does not share your personal
registration information.
During Setup I
was prompted to “activate” Windows XP. What is activation and why do I need to
do it?
To help reduce
software piracy, Windows XP uses the product activation system, which allows
you to install Windows XP on only one computer.
You can activate
your copy of Windows either:
During Setup.
Or
By clicking
Start> All Program> Activate Windows.
If you wait to
activate your software you can still use Windows for 30 days. During this time
you’ll be reminded periodically to activate Windows.
Is activating
the same as registering?
No. activation
is required: registration is optional.
Why should I
register?
If you register
online with your computer manufacturer and Microsoft we can notify you of new
products. Product updates, events, promotions. And special offers you may find
interesting.
