Windows xp home edition sp3 retail product key upgrade#
I wonder if it's because I installed using an OEM (non branded)XP Home CD modified to take an upgrade key by modifying the setupp.ini in the i386 folder of the CD? All this does is permit the use of an upgrade key without the requirement that you have a previous qualifying OS installed, or OS installation CD available.

Setup had "seen" the XP install first, so no need for qualifying upgrade product. When it asked if I wanted to "repair", or "install new", I selected "install new" & then deleted the partition & long NTFS formatted the drive.
I think I know why it didn't prompt for a qualifying product I was doing a clean install OVER an existing install. The XP Upgrade CD is definitely an upgrade, it's the one I bought for him in 2002. Maybe someone else who's used XP Home Upgrade will chirp in with how it qualifies.Īs for an 8xxxx product code, that beats the hell outta me. Interestingly, I inadvertently used the original Windows XP Home Upgrade CD for the clean install & it didn't even prompt me to insert a qualifying product for the upgrade. Most, but not all are all Royalty OEM PCs with XP Home OEM. I have 45 installations listed so far (for all the systems for which I kept Belarc Advisor Reports) & I don't see any others that even start with an '8'.įor what it's worth, out of the 45 Product ID's on my limited list, the most common first group is 55277 with fully 23 of the 45 starting with this group. Not only isn't it on your list, it's not on the list of PID's in the spreadsheet I started to record this information from all the PCs I work on. The second 3 digit group is the same, but the first group is entirely different & not on your list. The PID from this most recent clean install of XP Home using the same product key is 8250224-xxxxx.

I see that 55285 is on your list as XP Pro & 012 isn't on the list for the second group, though 011 is XP Home Upgrade, so it's 'close'. The PID from the original XP install done in 20224-xxxxx & Belarc Advisor identifies this as Windows XP Home. This way there is no need to present a qualifying product, etc. I prefer using a CD with sp2 slipstreamed, so I performed another clean install, this time using an OEM XP Home CD that's been modified to take XP Home Upgrade installation keys. This is an old Upgrade CD & didn't have any service pack included. It would be helpful if you could tell what version it went to based on the installation key itself.
That is very useful info knew you could tell based on the setupp.ini file on the CD, but didn't know you could get it from the PID. Possibly an SP2 integrated install of some variety.
