What would be the point of doing so?

My understanding is that the only difference between the two is the activation. I\'m not certain that it could be done, but why would you want to? Just curious.

just do an upgrade with the new disk. that will have you re-activate with the new installation.

It will still be known that you once had a \"illegel\" copy of xpee corpse even if you upgrade. To activate a once pirated piece of software is nutz.

Also i think your crazy for wanting activation...and wanting XPee. IMOP of course.

Or you could try to send your pirated copy of xpee corpse back to m$ and say that is what came in the box...and you want the regular version because piracy is wrong and M$ is god...they will agree and maybe comply.
