Wait? Windows XP didn't always come with the key scribbled on the disc?

  Assuming the OP didn't have a reliable internet connection you would need to call in phone number to activate. I wasn't allowed online until I turned 16 and was able to get my own job and pay for a second phone line. Prior to that, I had to shuffle stacks of floppies back and forth to use the T1 in my high school.

  It did, but you could only use it 3 times (I think). After that you have to call to get a new one issued.
