Hi All,
I need to get hold of several copies of XP Pro retail (for a virtualisation project I'm working on). Does anyone know where I might be able to get such a thing?
Regards...

I can probalby send you 1, but the key has likely been abused. (I tend to install it everytime I need a dummy OS for a few weeks, and it auto-activates...)
As for when you can purchase it on the interwebs? I not be sure.
I shall begin my searchings and see what be returned.
Ahh matey, this project of yours be expense.
You can find some copies here, but they cost £101.71 EACH. I can't seem to find anything much cheaper than that to be honest. Then again I only used Google Shopping.![]()
Nope that's an OEM license. I need retail copies. It looks like MS has EOLed the software and you can't get proper retail copies anywhere anymore.
Buy into a MSDN subs or TechNet Sub, you get 10 activations then. Probably work out cheaper than buying them all.
i saw xp pro on play.com playtrade just a few days ago for £17.99. i looked a previous time when i wanted one and they were gone, and another time they were back. i'm not sure if it's retail or OEM though. sounds like OEM at that price
I have 4 that were removed from Dell PC's. From experience they will re-validate over the phone.

Buy sealed OEM copies - as long as you only ever install it on the one (virtual) machine you'll be operating within the license. Ebuyer sell a three pack of Windows XP Pro for ~ £300 (it's gone up a lot since I last had to buy it). I'm not sure how you stick the COA on the case of a virtual machine though - scan it and use it as a desktop background?

Should be able to sue the valuation licence for what you want to do.
Hi All,
Yes this is for production use in a corporate environment. I have to use real retail licenses. In the end we managed to source 4 copies at around £250 each.![]()
