Windows 10: I need to find the activation code of my Windows XP installation

I need to find the activation code of my Windows XP installation. This NOT the Product key, it is a numeric activation code that I could get from MS if they were kind. But, they nolonger support XP.I need this to activate an XP image under Parallels 18. The installation runs fine on the ASUS EeePC 900HA that it was installed on, and, ran ok on Parallels until I upgraded to Parallels V 18.So, how do I extract the activation key from my Notebook?Karl

Windows XP Activation Question

I'm thinking about buying a Windows XP Home OEM installation disc...

However, once Microsoft chooses not to support Windows XP anymore, will I still be able to activate it?

For example, if I wanted to install and activate Windows XP 10 years from now, would it still work?

Thanks!

 

XP not activating?

XP not activating

XP stores activation codes on the hard disk. It also has a formula to rule out Key Codes
from the wrong version of XP compared to the CD you are using to install it (XP, XP sp1, XP sp2, XP Pro, XP Home, XP oem)

To get rid of the stored (hidden) information on the hard drive, you have to format it with a
"low level" software utility such as Maxtor "PowerMax" (free to download)

XP oem will activate more than once, if the hardware is mostly different from the last machine
it was activated on
