Software / Changing OEM to Retail/Upgrade to Full?

« on: March 03, 2004, 07:20:43 PM »

The numbers you quoted, 270, 335, oem, only determine what type of key you have to use. Volume, Retail, Oem. Of those Oem will only do a full install, not an upgrade. To actually change a Retail disk to lets say a Retail you would have to change the 82503 to 51882 and the oem to 335, then you could do full install or upgrade. The volume edition requires the corp files to make it work, you cannot just change the numbers.
Hope I helped you,

The corp version does not require activation, but it requires a corp key. I am trying to use an OEM key which I own. Suppose to be able to change the pid value to make XP act different. Retail, Oem ect. Every time I change a piece of hardware I have to call Micro$oft and ask their permission to use their operating system (activate by phone) and I am tired of it.
