You can copy the activation files 2 ways:
1. If you have the rockwell activation disk you can do a blind image - winimage, CopyQM (free will run on xp - gives warnings but works) ect. Must be a blind image. The floppy has an extra track and some marked sectors. Good luck finding a working floppy drive.
2. The second way is to edit the evrsi.sys file it's self. If it is the 2000 + activation I made a couple of years ago this won't work.
first copy the file to the computer you want to activate.
Remove all attributes from the file. - attrib -r -h -s evrsi.sys
Do a VOL command on the installed hard drive. It will be a hex value XX XX XX XX
Open the evrsi.sys file with a hex editor.
Starting at the 5th place is were the disk volume in reverse order. Offset 22 - 120
replace the hex values with your volume id in reverse order. 120 - 22
save the file, do attrib +r +h +s. You should be activated.

This is the volume # 78 23 91 16
