[SOLVED] Activating windows XP in the modern day

[ThatTonybo]

Internet activation provides a 32777 error code (with the most up to date service packs and fixes, plus direct internet connection).
Phone activation isn't an option either.

The key I'm using is genuine and I even installed off an original 32bit hope edition CD.

Any alternative way to force windows XP into thinking it's activated?

No, there isn't.
MS shut down that activation server farm long ago.

And there is no "force" way to do it.

Further discussion down this path WILL result in this therad being closed

So xp is useless. Got it, moving to an earlier OS I guess. Won't continue the thread.
