XP Office and Activation codes restore from old backup
XP Office and Activation codes
I am preparing to rebuild my system, to clear out some problems with my XP Pro and XP Office that have been adding up for the last couple of years, before installing the XP SP2. I know that XP Pro uses a file, wpa.dbl, to store activation information and that by copying and then restoring this file I do not have to go through the Activation over the phone route with Microsoft. Does XP Office also use such a file? If so, then what is it? I ask because the original Key Code was invalid and the people I got the system from had to give me a second Key Code to activate my Office XP. Unfortunately, due to my failing to file the information in the correct place, I cannot find the updated activation code. |

Hi Mukesh,
The CD key and activation key are separate. If you have a valid CD key to reinstall Office XP you can use either online or telephone activation to again activate the installed copy of MS Office. Data.DAT and Data.BAK are the files that hold the prior activation for Office XP. ======== "Mukesh" wrote in message ...
