Q: Anyone else with this problem? I installed WinXP Pro v2600 a while ago [upgraded from WinME] and it is too early end. I would expect this from the HOME version and not PRO.
Re:As far as registration you need to register in 30 days unless you have the corprate edition. But there are also cracks that you can download which I would not try unless it is apsolutely necessary as I heard some are actualy viruses. Another way to find a copy of a file in XP which controls the registration functions. Then you should be able to copy it into place and work normaly. I am not sure of the exact name or were to find it though.
Re:Actually you click password never expires, no uncheck password expires, but I'm sure you get the gist.
Re:computer management > users and groups > right click user > properties > unclick "password expires" or somethin like that
its in there in user management, you can find it if my directions arent 100% correct
Re:On a slightly diferent note, but still similar.
Anybody know how to dissable that password reset function. I believe it basicaly wants to resen the user password every 30 days. It's no big problem as I input the old password anyway but I would like to stop that if possible.
Thanks
Re:you're right i have corporate issue .
no 30 day activation lol:DRe:The corporation version doesn't need activation I think.
Re:I'm confused, you installed the final version of XP Pro and expect to use it for how long without having to activate it? Microsoft clearly states on their XP website that the grace period for using XP before you must activate it is 30 days.
I'm not a huge fan of the product activation in WinXP, but Microsoft isn't pulling the wool over anyones eyes about it. If you want to run XP, be it Home or Professional, you have to activate your copy within 30 days after installation or it will expire and you will be left with a worthless operating system. If that doesn't suit you then you should go back to ME or find yourself a copy of the corporate version that doesn't require activation.
