Re: Windows XP activation

Your sticker is a Windows XP Professional OEM sticker. You will need an
OEM copy of Windows XP Pro. Also if he sold you that license without a
computer (or any hardware for that matter) then he broke OEM rules doing
that. The OEM stickers should always be supplied with a CD.
