Unlike other operating systems, Microsoft has a system that allows us to change licenses without having to install. This means that we can change the equipment or basically install with a license and then deliver another license with the equipment, something that many companies do with their equipment.
A long time ago we talked about how to change the license key in Windows 10 but How to change the license of Windows XP? How to make the change without resorting to an external program? Here we teach you how to do it.
Windows XP license key can be changed without using any external program
The procedure is simple. First we have to open the Start menu and type Regedit in the run option. After this, the registry editor will open, which will be important for this task. In the registry we will
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE software Microsoft WindowsNT CurrentVersion WPAEvents
We double click on oobetimer key and we remove the hexadecimal value CA. We close regedit and repeat the previous operation but instead of writing Regedit, we write oobe / msoobe / a and we press enter. Will appear to us the Windows XP activation screen where there is a button that says «Change product key«, We press them and enter the new password. We press the button and it may give us an error. We close everything and restart the operating system. Once the system has restarted, we open the Windows XP activation screen and we will see the new license key configured by default in the operating system, so we have already changed the license.
Es una tarea larga y un poco complicada, pero seguir los pasos es fácil inclusive para un Username novato. Y lo que es más no need to resort to external programs to perform this task that, on the other hand, is something that many users have to do, especially those who give a commercial use to Windows XP.
