my 2003 enterprise server machine was activated over 2 months ago. it's now asking me to activate, so i figure what the hell and go to activate it again... it then comes up with the windows activation screen and sayes "WINDOWS IS ALREADY ACTIVATED: CLICK OKAY TO CONTINUE" so i click okay and it dumps me back to the login screen. anyone know how to replace my wpa.dbl file with one that will require me to reactivate windows? ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |

If this is a legal copy try contacting MS. It could be that the serial number used is on a blacklist of pirated serial numbers. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

| Post it in a microsoft newsgroup. There are goods things on there. But you must make a secondary e-mail as there is lots of SPAM! |

| I had a licensing issue once. I looked them up in the phone book and they had an e-mail address. They didn't try to charge me when I sent an e-mail to it. It might not work for you if you live in the states. |

fdisk can speed up your computer once is all over and done with... it's a pain in the @$$ having to back up and replace all your files though ------------- Paul A Morgan http://www.pmorganphoto.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.pmorganphoto.com/ |

XP and 2003 are different in that sense. If for whatever reason you need to change your product key you basically need to re-install (upgrade) the version you have. As you obviously have a legitimate copy and key, why don't you just contact MS Support I am sure they can help you. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |
