windows xp REACTIVATE WITH NEW KEY

[News Bot]

I have owned this licensed copy of Windows XP Home for over 10 years. It is not installed on any other machine than the one I intalled it on today. I am fixing my brother-in-law's desktop which got a virus and needed to install a new copy of Windows (since

he does not have his CD right now). I registered and activated with no problem, then applied over 120 updates and have repaired nearly all the device driver issues. Now, when applying the next set of updates, I am being told the key I have has been activated

too many times and I have to get a new key (which means buying Windows 7, apparently). The license agreement says I can use this software on a single PC and there is no stated limit or indication that I can only activate a certain number of times. This is

unacceptable. I paid good money for this OS and I expect to continue using it until it goes off support next year.

 

Please help.
