Windows Forum / Windows XP / General Topics 1 / May 2008SP3, Vol Lic Key Not Accepted
Updating a laptop build and included SP3 installed through Microsoft Update. Ran sysprep, then Ghost. System will no longer accept volume license key. Saw similar mentioned in other threads. Any help? Have you check with any possible banned key list? Microsoft had a banned key list for the previous service packs, in attempts of eliminating the "pirated copies." >Updating a laptop build and included SP3 installed through Microsoft Update. >Ran sysprep, then Ghost.

My license is good, and will work on installs until I try SP3. > Have you check with any possible banned key list?

If you do it [make the slipstreamed copy] from within Vista, you will have the problems you've reported." HE is NOT referring to the actual INSTALLATION of the finished slipstreamed copy of XP with SP3 [i.e. "the installation of XP using the resulting slipstreamed copy"]. Obviously, one cannot install XP from within Vista. Donald L McDaniel Please reply to the original newsgroup and thread. ======================================================== He mentioned that the upgrade was via WU and not a clean install from a slipstreamed cd. > This happens if you perform the slipstream on Vista.
