If it\'s legit, why you scared to call? Seems like someone is pirating http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':D\' />
But on the real, if your copy is legit, just call
If it\'s not, I suggest you don\'t call.

If you install win xp sp1 and you have activated allready , you don\'t have to activate again after installing sp1 .

AS i said in my post, i cracked the activation via editing the winlogon.exe with a hex editor. When you install SP1, it replaces the winlogon.exe with a new one, so now its not cracked and it thinks i need to activate again
