have anyone experienced an error after installing Windows SP3 when you try to
log on it comes up with an error code 0x80040509 "the license key is not
valid on this media, please reinstall windows"

If so how did you fix it, and keep Windows SP3 installed

Are you running an illegal/pirated version of WinXP?
