How to activate Windows XP by using the Internet, Modem or phone

Windows XP uses software-based product activation technology. Therefore, you must activate your copy of Windows XP to use it. Activation is required in 30 days from the first day that you start Windows XP. If you want to activate Windows on a day that is later than the day that you install it, a Windows Activation icon appears in the notification area. This icon periodically displays notifications to remind you about how much time remains before you must activate. After the 30 days has expired, you must activate Windows to continue using Windows.
