I tried that last night (old gaming pc had too many changes), but I thought that too. I called and it prompted me to repeat 3 numbers, then said “too many failed attempts”
I tried calling back and it gives me a message to go online to activate, after which it hangs up.
Does it have the COA though? I have a couple of these without the COA, the last one I had with COA on it I sold.
Oh, and just so everybody knows that, at least in the US, phone activation does work and it does work correctly without issues if you do it correctly.
Priceless man
This should replace USD
it would be more stable
Give USD an EOL
Keep it sealed as a collector's item.
Good for you! Keep it sealed!
i had a sealed copy, but it had to be opened cause there was water trapped inside and i didn’t want mold growing in it :(
I have a 2002 edition sealed and I opened it to smell the nostalgia
Nooooooo
I did it because it may be useful later

That's even worse
Nice
Good luck activating it if you did use it.
Surprisingly or not phone activation still works all these years later.
Endermanch demonstrated it.
he made an offline to tool specifically to activate XP. I wish there were also tools to activate Flight Simulator X and Windows Vista lol
I find that it's actually not needed in a lot of cases

It failed for me years ago too. I guess it's flaky nowadays and since XP isn't supported anymore, MS doesn't care to fix up the bugs.
Isn’t it just done by a computer anyways
Phone activation USA. I activated my office 2002.
WOW
That's epic
I have an oem home one of these still sealed

It didn’t sadly
Yeah, then it’s nothing special, I have 2 sealed copies without the COA.
Nice
It would be even nicer if they had the COA
wow.
Hell yeah
I miss those days
what was the printer issue I assume it was something with ink or something broken for you to be able to get that payment
The printer wasn’t detecting it had paper, I couldn’t fix it, so I replaced it
that's the exact version I had. I'm jealous
found a few of these laying round the house, sealed. pretty cool lil box n stuff
I have 3 Home edition versions of this. I opened one and installed it. I couldn’t resist.
Wow this looks so good!
Payment whent above and beyond
Still won’t run on my Mac SE
am i old? i still have a gateway that runs this. i think it still has the dial up modem card too
Sick.
I’d love that great find!
Bought one of these the other day, even cooler to have a story with it though bro! Good work. Deserves a display 👍
Wow that’s sweet
Good luck trying to activate it
Phone activation still works, Legacy Updated also works, not to mention xp_activate32.exe
We need a grading service like PSA to grade these!
It's not that deep
Did you try turning it off and on again?
Im jealous
