Never Re-Activate After Installation

If you have to reinstall Windows XP you normally will have to reactivate
too. Well not anymore. Just copy wpa.dbl after you activated the first time.
It is located in the WINDOWS\system32 folder. Now if you reinstall Windows
XP just copy the file back and you're up and running again.



Found this little snippet on the net what is the corresponding Vista file?

I was implying that there is a "file" that is created for whatever version
to document activation.
 
PS. If you make a full backup and then restore that backup, the activation
is also already in place. So, it must be license file/registry.
