  • Error - "the CD key you entered is invalid" when trying to install the Windows XP computer.

    Original title: Windows XP CD Key can expire?

    My old machine with Windows XP installed should be trashed. I want to install Windows XP on a netbook Eee. The Win XP CD is a CR - ROM with the retail CD. It was given by my former neighbor who worked at Microsoft and purchased at a reduced price.

    Trying to install Windows XP, I had pop-up window "you entered the CD key is not valid. I installed Windows XP Home edition using this CD key several times on my old machine, to clean the operating system after a certain period of malware infection. The CD key is certainly valid.

    So what's happening? The CD key can expire after a certain number of years? Note that what's happening during the initial installation - before the first logon. There is no internet connection. So it is not possible for the installation check if this CD key is used elsewhere.

    I tried several times. Whenever I got this error in the installation step "installation of Windows.

    The message itself is that I quoted above "the CD key you have entered is not valid.

    These are the typical reasons, you would get such a message:

    1. the user enters in the key not associated with the retail disk but another key, usually on top of the COST of the PC sticker.

    2. at least one of the characters has been entered incorrectly. This could be because of user error or a faulty keyboard.

    Just to be sure: you use a real retail CD? Or is it a generic OEM CD that was bought in a store?

    A way around this problem is to use an XP SP3 integrated in a installation CD. If your CD is SP2 or earlier, you can create one on the scale of SP3, using a process called "slipstreaming". Then everything just when it's time to enter your product key, don't! Then you will see this window:

    You will have 30 days to activate (and enter the product key). This page should help:
