Microsoft is committed to the protection of intellectual prop-
erty rights and the reduction of software piracy. Windows XP
contains software-based product activation technology. Your
copy of Windows XP has already been activated for your
Notebook. However, product activation is needed if some
components of your Notebook have been replaced or you use
non-authorized BIOS. If necessary, you can activate Win-
dows XP as often as needed.
You will probably need to activate Windows XP by telephone
even if Internet Activation is available. This is due to the pre-
activated SLP version that runs with a special Product-ID.
However, activation needs your unique Product ID that can
be found on the Certificate of Authenticity sticker on your
Notebook housing. When you call, please inform the agent
that you are running an OEM (SLP) version of the software.
