A previously activated WinXP SP1 (kept current with all updates from
Windows Update except SP2) machine began (after more than a year)
logging events stating activation was required within 30 days. Each
time this event appeared it stated 30 days. I searched the newsgroup
and found your corrective action post for a similar problem. I tried
it and upon reboot I again activated successfully. However, the
"activate within 30 days" event is still beging logged. Any ideas?
Thanks!


Try repairing the registry entries for the .DLL files used by
activation.

Use Start- Run and enter the following text in the dialog box:
regsvr32.exe regwizc.dll

Then do it again with the following text:
regsvr32.exe licdll.dll

Good luck
