Its a rather strange bug with one of the recent patches. I have over 20 XP machines here at the office, all purchased about the same time, and all updated at the exact same time with the same patches. Some require re-activation, some don't. I've called MS and complained, because if this was a big company, and I had 5000 that required re-activation, I'd be pissed!

No problem ... volume licencing products do not require this, so it would never come up.
In fact if you have 20+ machines, you should look at volume licencing for when Longhorn comes out ... buy it with Software Assurance and you can spread the costs and get cheaper updated OS's when they come out. You can go volume, Open business, with just 5 licences.
