|  Never Re-Activate After Installation Never Re-Activate After Installation If you have to reinstall Windows XP you normally will have to reactivate too. Well not anymore. Just copy wpa.dbl after you activated the first time. It is located in the WINDOWS\system32 folder. Now if you reinstall Windows XP just copy the file back and you're up and running again. |

| One thing to keep in mind is that the file will not work on another computer or also if you change a lot of the hardware on your computer. In that case you will have to reactivate. If you want me to explain y just ask.
