    Any XP folks - license question

    Does XP Home edition have to call home periodically? Customer on the inside of a firewall just called and said his is asking for an activation, and I am double-d@mn sure they were all activated before they left.

    I do *NOT* want to drive to Houston!
    GUI admin tools have no honor. It is a good day to vi.

    XP should not have to call home periodically. Once it's activated, it's activated. Of course, you don't need a network connection to actiavate - you could have your client give them a call (the number should be listed on the activation screen).
