Here's the timeline of what happened:
- I purchased a new computer with Windows XP Pro on it
- I bought a new hard drive and put it in my father's old Win98 machine
- I put my full version of Windows XP Pro on the new hard drive (so I didn't have to install Win98 again and the an XP Upgrade)
- I purchased the WinXP Pro upgrade so he would have a valid license to activate (he is legally eligible for the upgrade since he came from a Win98 machine)
- The WinXP Pro Upgrade code doesn't seem to work when activating the product
Do I need to buy a full license for WinXP and just eat the Upgrade license? Help!
