Deacivate XP to use it again?

Hi All,

Not sure what has happened (no doubt my fault) but my VM installation of winXP as gone to full size (40GB) on the HDD.

I couldn't believe I had filled it up so I installed XP in a new VM next to the existing XP and it is currently showing 3GB. I will install the few things I need to run on this new XP VM, but it is showing "30-days left to activate."

How do I deactivate the old 40GB XP so that I can then activate the new one?

Thanks

This is more a Microsoft question then a VMware one but I don't think you can deactivate Windows XP.

If you have the correct licenses to run 2 Windows XP then you should be able to activate it the normal way
