Different product key numbers for service pack updates ?

[leoliver]

Hi Everyone,

I have my original Dell WinXP Sp1a reinstall disk, that was shipped with my computer , that already had Windows XP Pro installed. And the product key is found on a sticker on my computer's case.

When I recently used the nlite program, to slipstream my original install disk, with the SP3 update , I noticed that nlite displayed a different product key number, for the slipstreamed build.

Which brings me to ask, if I should manually input the original product key into the slipstreamed build , or does each progressive service pack update have a different product key number , than prior service pack builds ?

This is very important , because if a incorrect product key number is inputed into the slipstream build , it would fail to reinstall Windows when needed.

Thanks !
