Validation Process

Windows XP Support >> Validation Process I have read almost every question, complaint and comment on the Windows
validation process. I have not seen anything that answers my question
directly. I have a network with no internet connection. I would like to
install IE7 but I cannot get past the validation since it cannot check the OS
license without Internet connection. I've have read that the validation needs
to connect to the server to validate but how do others in my situation
install IE7? I have about 5 computers that I would like to upgrade to IE7
but I can't validate the OS. Any suggestion and recommendation? BTW I'm
running Windows XP with SP 2 with legitimate licenses.

It is required to connect to Microsoft servers to validate xp but if you
type, validate xp without a internet connection into google you can find 1
or 2 ways people have come up with to do it without the internet connection.
Can't believe MS doesn't have a way but I haven't seen it. They can't
believe every computer in the world has an internet connection.

Windows XP Support >> Validation Process Thank you for these links but how do I actually install IE7 without Internet
connection from my network computers?

Windows XP Support >> Validation Process Installing Systems Management Server would be the easy way. Have you tried
downloading the WGA tool and installing it on the offline machines?
