XP will supposedly quit working if it goes a certain amount of time
without connecting to Microsoft to confirm your registration. Which
can be a problem if you don't connect your computer to the internet.
You can get a registration code by phone. But if you try to register
too many computers on the same copy of Windows, you'll have some
'splainin' to do.
The classic explanation is a recent string of upgrades and/or repairs.
Given how sensitive XP is to seemingly trivial hardware changes, they have
to honor this.
