System License Violation - Invalid PID?

Hello everyone:

I am unable to compile a working XP Embedded OS from the two PID key we
received from the distributor. The OS would give the following error
with the PID entered:

1. Stop 9A Blue Screen Error - System_License_Violation
2. FBALOG.txt only indicate one error - "Invalid Product Key"

The format I entered the PID: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX (25 PID + 4
Dash = Total of 29) is correct according to the Newsgroup. Below are
the reasons I believe why the PID itself is invalid:

1. The OS boots perfectly fine without the PID entered.
2. We are running XP Embedded SP2. There is a possibility these are
SP1 PIDs which would not work on SP2.
3. 6/08/05 user Don Streng from the Embedded Newsgroup received an
invalid PID as well, a new PID fixed his problem.

Do you guys think I made the correct judgement? I already went throu
every single post on System_License_Violation. Thanks!
 
Hi Kevin,

Do you have a COA sticker that you need to place on each device?
In TD you need to enter number from one of COA stickers, any sticker number will do fine.

Hello Slobodan:

Yes, I do have two tiny COA stickers that are placed inside of a huge
envolope from Microsoft. Typed in both PIDs numerous times and tried
every single possible boot I can think of. I already asked the
distributor to send me a new one.

Thank you for your response. I am a bit paranoid because I dont want
to look bad in front of my supervisor as an Intern.
