Default XP Pro 64/Corp 64

Is there a difference in these 2 or is the 64 bit version of xp the corp version. I got a disc that said corp 64 but after loading it only says xp pro 64, thanks.

Corp means you can install it on more than one computer? since Corp should stand for Corporation edition.

There is no difference except for the activation feature.
XP corp does not have one. It's made for corporations so they don't have to activate each of their hundreds or thousands of PCs individually. It also allows for one key for all their machines which also aids in creating one Ghost image for multiple PCs.

Well that clears that up, thought the content was a little different, thanks.... Ok so I got xp 64 with sp1 and sp2 is also out but I was reading to install sp2 for server 2003 in place of a sp3 for it(64bit got no sp3). Should I install the sp2 for xp first or just skip to the sp2 for server, thanks again.

What it clears up is that you have a pirated copy of XP. There's no such thing as a legitimate "Corporate Edition" CD. The so-called "Corp edition" is merely XP Pro with volume licensing that you would never be able to get your hands on through normal channels. Even if you worked for a huge company they wouldn't be allowed to give it to you.

There are only three ways to buy XP, and only three versions of it. XP Home, Pro and Media Center. Depending on the version there's OEM, Retail Box or Volume Licensing.

In short, no matter *where* you pretend you got it from (and I'll place my money on a friend or a torrent site), you're not licensed to own it and you can't be licensed to own it. And don't try and BS your way out of it, because I know better. I sell volume licensing and the disk says right on it "Microsoft licensing". You've got a lot of nerve stealing something and then coming here asking for help on it.

SirKenin, Hey I ain't stole nothing, the disc was given to me and I was told I could use it but if it ain't a legal version then I don't want to use it. I have my own xp pro that the VA paid for when I went to school and can put it on my machine; ur asshole remarks are not needed.

You knew darn well that a Windows XP disk with "Corp 64" scribbled on it with a marker is not legal. It's not the average basic user that goes looking for a 64 bit XP either.

You knew exactly what you were doing and that it was a pirated copy. Spare me the crap.....

'nuff said. You got busted. Deal with it.

The disc has xp 64 nothing more on it other than a ser# and who busted me, u who don't know what the hell ur talking about with the crap that the only way to get a volumn license is to buy it (bull crap) microsoft gives these things out in 25 user license to members of their IT association (or whatever u call it) because my son won one of them for server 2003. Idiots like u are why I don't bother with most forums, go spew ur stealing crap on someone else.

Actually, it's not an IT association, it's either a) TechNet or b) Microsoft Partners / OEM System Builders. I know. I am one.

Your first post says it says Corp 64 on it. Your last post says it only says XP 64 on it and a serial number. Which one is it Ace? Your so full of it we can see it floating around in your eyes.. You got a copy cd from your buddy who scribbled the info on the CD, came in here wondering where the "corporate" part was (which in reality is a VLK that MS blocked a long time ago, but the copies such as the one you stole has an activation crack to get around the WPA (and I even know what the name of the crack is, who distributes it and where to get it).

Volume license CDs don't come with product keys written on them. And MS doesn't hand them out in free 25 packs either. 25 CALs sell for between 1500 and 2300 USD. MS may be generous to it's partners, but not that generous. I sell volume licenses. The wholesaler registers your client's information with MS on your client's behalf. The client receives a login and password to the site where it shows them the number of licenses they purchased.

The Server 2003 that MS handed out was a 5 CAL NFR.

Stop trying to jerk us around. You're lying your arse off to someone who does this for a living and who is actively involved with the MS anti-piracy division and somewhat with the Business Software Alliance.

And if you're a dad... I feel sorry for your kid. What lessons are you teaching him exactly? And what do you mean they gave your son CALs? Buddy, the way "u" type, you sound like you've barely hit puberty, never mind a son of any significant age. I'll bet my last dollar you ARE the son.

Once again u are the idiot because it was a 25 license pack and are sold on ebay daily for next to nothing (do some checking) and as I said IT members (or whever its called), crap I don't remember that small stuff. But u are such a blowhard if u see anything I wrote don't stick ur nose in it. 2 things I can't stand; itiots and ppl who think they are somebody who they ain't. And actually my son is older than u so that makes me a whole lot older than a punkass like u, take a hike. And if u really want to make a wager and u probably only have that 1 dollar, time and place.
