    Not really rocket science, just a bit of reading

    If you want to use the volume license version you will need a valid key, which you obviously do not have. XP VL does not use WPA, but it does use WGA(windows genuine advantage) which checks your installation and key for validity. You should follow sebus's advice and read the stickies.
