How to activate Windows XP WinXP in 2023 after Servers and Phonelines are shut down ?

We need to activate our Windows XP after a Change of Motherboard.

! ! ! Please no lections about "Why we still use WinXP" ! ! !

We know all about it. It is just used offline in a protected environment.

We need to run a software which does not run on newer Windows Versions.

Since there is no Solution for that, WinXP is just required.

After the change of the Mainboard + CPU + RAM WinXP needs re-Activation.

Servers and Phonelines are down.

How can we do it.

PS: Microsoft Support on this Matter was simply poor.

They let their customers down with no Solution what so ever.

Really Disappointing. When shutting down the activation servers,

they could at least offer a Solution for people to use.

1. We do not work for Microsoft.

2. Microsoft never looks at the XP forums.

3. I gave you a thread link to read about how to activate.

4. Other than that, you are on your own.

Here in Germany it is not allowed to bind a License to a specific hardware.

That was ruled years ago.

You can read about it here:

OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer | Software-Express

So, Yes I can change the Motherboard and still use the same License.

Thats also why you can still buy these Licenses online.

So the Question remains:

How do I activate the WinXP.

With the original Code or different Code, we have few to choose from.

Microsoft should offer a Solution since they sold the Software, but they are not.

If they shut down their WinXp-Activation-Servers and Phone-Lines, they should offer a Solution

for the few Customers who are unable to use newer Version of Windows with certain Apps.

If you ask Microsoft-Customer-Service they seem to know nothing about this matter.

So there is no official statement except to upgrade to newer Version.

Microsoft simply refuces to accept the Fact that some Apps won't work on newer Windows,

which makes me wonder, because it seems it was made that way on purpose.
