# **Windows XP / Server 2003 Keygen**
### **Plan of Action / ToDo List**
In light of the recent exponential interest in this project I've decided to put updates of this project here:
* [Please see ticket #8 for more information](https://github.com/Neo-Desktop/WindowsXPKg/issues/8)
------
### **FAQ**
#### **What does it do?**
* This program allows you to generate endless Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 keys.
You also can use it to check your already existing keys.
#### **How does it work?**
* [Enderman's XPKeygen Readme explains everything in detail.](https://github.com/Endermanch/XPKeygen)
#### **How do I use it?**
* It all comes down to four simple steps:
### **Usage**
1. Feel free to use [XPKeygen](https://github.com/Endermanch/XPKeygen) on **Windows** to generate a key, and use such key during installation.
* If on **Linux** please clone and compile this repository using `cd build && cmake ../ && make` and run using `./xpkey` to generate a Volume License Key
2. (For retail only): After installation, you will be prompted to activate Windows. Select the *telephone activation* method, then, fire up [xp_activate32.exe](https://archive.org/details/xp_activate32_202305) and enter the installation ID that the activation wizard gave you.
3. Click "**Next**"
4. Profit!
