Basically, I'm BONED .

Ring them up, they're usually very understanding about that.

The Validation tool only really compars your product key to a known list of blacklisted ones (remember when SP1 was released and people couldn't install because of their FGW keys?). If your home one has been used more than the legal amount of times it won't show up there.

I've had to purchase two Windows XP licenses now and it is annoying me. But... Tax Claims :banana:

My key isn't legit though bcz now I'm using MCE 2005 :banana:

But I guess technically I'm not doing anything wrong bcz I used a trial of it then cracked it :banana:
