    You could only activate the same key several times before you had to call.

      That could be it, but doesnt make sense for an air-gapped box?

        I think it does this even if you’re offline

          Maybe its just the default for offline activation of volume licence keys?

            Maybe it was just xp home and not pro?

      Really? Because hundreds of VM’s I’ve built used the same key.

      XP never validates the key online as far as I can tell.
