Activating Windows XP

Windows XP contains software-based product activation technology, which means
that you need to activate your copy of Windows XP in order to use it. There are two
methods by which you can activate Windows XP, both of which are performed
using an activation wizard:
•
Activating Windows XP via the Internet, see Activating Windows XP via the
Internet on page 38.
•
Activating Windows XP by telephone, see Activating Windows XP by Phone on
page 40.
Note: Activating Windows XP is required only when reinstalling the Spire color
server operating system.
If a message appears, requesting you to activate Windows XP, you have 30 days to
do so from the date you receive the message. However, we recommend that you
perform the activation procedure as soon as the message is received.
Activating Windows XP via the Internet

settings must be configured. Contact your system administrator to ensure that
