Win XP Activation Problems

[Betsy56]

I need a Windows XP Home Premium activation work-around for use within a Microsoft Virtual PC environment. I installed a virtual PC within a Windows 7 Home Premium host system to run Win Home Prem XP, but the XP O.S. cannot be activated because an Internet connection cannot be made within the virtual PC system. My client needs to use an XP application A.S.A.P on the virtual PC. I saw in a previous post of yours, Tom, that you mentioned there are several clever ways to deal with this activation problem, so, can you please advise me how to resolve this dilemma? Thanks very much for your help!!

The thing to figure out is why the VM cannot establish an internet connection. Fix that, and the OS should activate.

Otherwise, you should be able to do it via the phone robot.

If you can't activate online choose the phone option and call it in.
