I need to (re)activate a fully licensed Windows XP64 installation. But, the MS activation server seems to be off-line. What to do?
Why XP?
My company has some expensive special purpose HW with custom drivers that are critical for a long term project. There are no drivers available for any other version of Windows, and the company that wrote the current ones is no longer in business. The system is never used for browsing or such, so Internet security is not an issue. I just replaced a broken HD, cloned the contents from a recent backup to a new HD, replaced a dying CD reader, and it seems I tripped MS's activation threshold. Yes, I could go with the XP emulation offered under Win7. But, if I can just get the current WinXP re-activated quickly, that would be better. What I had, worked just fine for many years. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. So, the question is 'I know MS no longer supports XP re patches, updates, & such. But, do they provide a way to re-activate existing installations?'.

Copy of Windows XP is no longer being sold.
Locate the 'Activate Windows' option, and enter it. 4.-If you get the following message, you've done a good job with the activation: Windows XP successfully activated. Serials for Windows XP. If you want to verify and activate the Windows XP system you must enter a password to do so. After installing a new mb, all i get is a activate now-yes/no message, but neither button will allow the operating sys to start! The sp 'fix' does not apply as the regedit area to be edited within the oobe area is different! Video of the Day. PC users can activate Windows XP manually in the Registry Editor. Open the Start menu and click 'Run. Type 'regedit ' into the text field and hit the 'OK ' button to launch the Registry Editor.
May be you should consider run those applications on compatibility view.
Activate Windows Xp Phone
Also if you have access to Windows 10 PC, report compatibility issue through Feedback Hub app.
In some cases, activation might still work but your Windows XP will be at risk because support is already ended.
Thank you for your useful reply.

I know that Windows XP is no longer being sold officially. However, original unused 'brand new' retail copies are still available to buy, and I assume that in principle, buying such a copy would be the same as it would have been to buy one in a shop a few years ago.
I have tried running my old software on Windows 7 in compatibility mode, and this did not work. I am talking about very old applications such as Acccess 97 and Access 2, along with my own bespoke applications. I am resigned to the idea that I need an older version of Windows (i.e. XP) to run them satisfactorily.
All I need to know is whether the XP activation process would work if I did buy an unused retail version of Windows XP. You say activation 'might still work', but it would be reassuring if you (or someone) could be slightly more definite, and say categorically that it would work (or wouldn't). And if it did work, as per my original question, could I activate by phone or email, or would online activation be the only workable route?
Again, many thanks!
