Windows XP Pro Product Key

The product key does not expire, either you are mistyping it, the CD is
damaged or you have a pirated copy of XP.

Explain no longer works, what are the symptoms, what happens, any error
messages, are you absolutely sure you have properly typed the CD key as this
is the most common reason why a key is rejected.
