XP Pro x64 Bit

Stephencuthbert · 2005-12-03 01:22:01

I downloaded Windows XP Pro x64 Bit trial version from Microsoft. The key they gave, validates it for 6 months. Is there any way of cracking this activation procedure to give me full version?

Does the Windows XP Pro 64bit accept regular Windows XP Pro keys?
