Used copy of XP home edition

I've been looking through various posts, and I've since discovered that
buying a used copy of XP home upgrade is not a good idea. However, that ship
has already sailed. What I need is information on what to do from here.
When I installed the upgrade, I was prompted to activate the software. I've
never seen anything like that on any other software, so I looked at the
manual before selecting yes and discovered that activation is required to
insure that the software is installed on only one computer. I purchased the
package from a guy whose computer died. He bought a new computer with XP
already installed, so he no longer needed the upgrade package. When I try to
activate the software, what is going to happen? If it's bad stuff, how to I
avoid it or fix it?
Thanks.
