Well, I decided to go ahead and click "activate," expecting to enter my key
for a 3rd or 4th time, but, to my surprise, it didn't ask for the key at
all - simply told me activation was successful. So I guess entering the key
in those other contexts saved it somewhere for activation to use???? It is
an OEM disk, but I guess the bios number wasn't important in this context.

I installed XP Professional on a virtual machine yesterday. It was a bit
confusing, since at some points I was told I needed updates, and had to
activate to get updates. I did get 90 updates when I shut it down - long
after I thought I was done.
I'm not sure of all that happened. What I am very
sure of is that I entered the 25 character code that was stuck to my CD
case
at least twice - maybe 3 times. I don't recall an error - but I certainly
don't recall 3 errors. Anyway, I'm still getting "29 days left for
activation."
I could click on the btutton to activate, but I'm afraid I'm using up my
"times" with Microsoft. I'm
afraid the problem may be with my virtual machine, or something else about
my environment, and that Microsoft actually "got" my 25 digit code 2 or 3
times yesterday.
Also - I entered my MS access activation code more than once. It's not
something you imagine doing. And my Access installation on the virtual
machine says I need to activate and can only run it 39 more times.
I'll post that in a different newsgroup, but am mentioning it because it
might be relevant.
Does this ring any bells with anyone?
