XP gives you 30 days to activate. Had someone reinstall XP for me recently and wanted to know if it was activated or if I will receive that 3 or 5 day notice that XP needs to be activated.
How can you get rid of that 3 or 5 days left activated message anyways? Some other XP users have been asking me this question.
