What is the real truth about registration with XP?
With Windows XP you will need two things to register: the product key which is included with the disc and a registration number provided by Microsoft, which can be done via e-mail, phone, letter or electronically via your computer. This number is based on the hardware in your computer. Without this second Code Windows XP can only be booted 50 times. This is done to keep someone from buying one copy and installing it an all three of their computers. Some people have raised the question what happens if I upgrade do I have to get a new code. The answer is no you can change up to 4 pieces of hardware before the code is obsolete and you have to get a new one. And no XP doesn’t check every so often and no it doesn’t send any personal info to Microsoft so all you paranoid privacy freaks relax.
