How do I bypass the product key, all zeros do not work any more.&amp;lt;/ul&amp;gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Well &lt;a href="mailto:Dcarver19@aol.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;Dcarver19@aol.com&lt;/a&gt;...  hmm... I wonder if its possible to loose the product key... :? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Anyways I don't think it is possible to bypass the product key expecially if you brought xp only a while ago. But if you did loose the key you can try calling up Microsoft and telling them about this(if you haven't already). And if you are trying to install xp on another computer I don't think you can do that, because according to my understanding of microsoft ... you need to pay to install it on another computer. Plus even if you can install it on another computer you might not be able to get the genuine advantage downloads etc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I :arrow: f you have lost your product key I can give you one here it is : &lt;br&gt;P2882-HQ9CC-DHFYG-YCDB3-BCJPJ 8)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Anonymous</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 15 Apr 2007 04:55:45 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: XP: How to bypass validation to download updates when the product key is invalid | Windows installation | Tech-Recipes</title><link>http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/999/xp_how_to_bypass_validation_product_key_invalid/#comment-2769722</link><description>Thank you brilliant worked first time.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Anonymous</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 07 Jan 2007 04:39:33 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: XP: How to bypass validation to download updates when the product key is invalid | Windows installation | Tech-Recipes</title><link>http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/999/xp_how_to_bypass_validation_product_key_invalid/#comment-2769721</link><description>hello guys. i have a very big problem. i am going to the add-ons button and i prees it, but i cannot find the Windows Genuine Advantage thingy, and i still cannot bypass the validation...</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Anonymous</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 03 Dec 2006 19:13:27 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: XP: How to bypass validation to download updates when the product key is invalid | Windows installation | Tech-Recipes</title><link>http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/999/xp_how_to_bypass_validation_product_key_invalid/#comment-2769720</link><description>WHAT IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE WINDOWS GENIUNE ADVANTAGE in the list of add-ons in the tools add-on area?

I have a legal copy but have gone to pirated also only because MS refused to activate windows after doing it 25 times or so and I also got tired of calling them up to activate it.  So I installed pirated so as not to have to put up with MS BS.  So, I can still get the updates.  What I do is just get the list of the numbers of the update.  Go to microsoft and go to downlads and you can get the downloads and patches manually to install instead of auto.  I get them because if I do other systems I have to applying the updates and I have 56k so I have them all on CD to install all the time.  As a new security bulliten or patch comes out I get it and save it.  Now with the new windows media player 11 you can't do it, it wants the authorization and if there is a workaround I don't know.  What I do know that you may be able to do is find someone that has a leagal copy, have them save the d/l and you copy it and install it. :)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Anonymous</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 18 Jul 2006 07:01:03 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
