- deactivate windows 2003
- Posted by Alex on November 9th, 2005
Hi,
I'd like to deactivate my windows 2003 licence (remove it) and have it so
that it reprompts the activation wizard and the next reboot. The reason for
this is that I'm shipping the hardware to another site and not the licence.
I want to make sure that they use their own valid licence and not continue
to just use the one I've entered.
Is this possible?
Regards,
Alex

Remove wpa.dbl and wpa.bak will deactivate, _BUT_ using magical jelly bean
or some such they can find your CD key. Win 2003 is a bit pricey. I would
therefore
write zeros to the drive.
