The same way I got my XP Pro Full version. If your disc is halographic, then you're one lucky person as you've accuired a corp version. (although i believe thats what they give the retailers anyway, as thats what I've got)

The corp version can be activated unlimited times. I.E. you can install it on as many computers as you like. Enjoy.

I took three test's through the retail training and recieved a holographic copy myself, never knew it was a corp version.

I always thought that the corporate version did NOT have to be activated. I have the holographic disc that they offered for $40 on their partner's site and I had to activate it.
