### **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. Download the latest version of WindowsXPKg
* *(GitHub account required)*
* Download the latest experimental version using the Actions tab ([Windows](https://github.com/Neo-Desktop/WindowsXPKg/actions/workflows/windows.yml), [Linux](https://github.com/Neo-Desktop/WindowsXPKg/actions/workflows/linux.yml)).
* *(GitHub account \*not\* required)*
* Download the latest release for your operating system and architecture from [the releases page](https://github.com/Neo-Desktop/WindowsXPKg/releases)
* **Note:** Before continuing, please ensure you have both the `xpkey` program and the `keys.json` datum extracted and in the same directory
#### 2. Run `xpkey` to generate a key, or add `--help` to see more options.
#### 3. *(Activation step for `Retail` and `OEM` only)*
* After installation, you will be prompted to activate Windows.
* Select the **telephone activation** method, then, run `xpkey -i <Installation ID>` using the `Installation ID` the activation Wizard provides for you
#### 4. Profit!
