  Microsoft to activate antipiracy "Plus"
Time: 10:55 EST/15:55 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Todd Richardson

On Tuesday, Microsoft plans to officially launch Plus Digital Media Edition (DME), a $19.95 add-on pack for Windows XP. Microsoft has offered various versions of Plus since the release of Windows 95. But unlike earlier versions, Plus DME is protected by product activation, meaning that consumers will have to enter a 25-key code to install the software and then "activate" Plus DME over the Internet. The change comes as the Redmond, Wash.-based software titan also has been experimenting with new methods for distributing software.
