Product Key.

Recommended Posts

HP computer, about 3 years old, purchased new, Windows XP Home Edition pre-installed, HP recovery partition and HP recovery discs.

2 programs, Everest vers. 1.10 and Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder v1.41, each show the same XP product key, however, it is different from the product key appearing on the COA sticker.

If OS reactivation is ever required which product key should be used?

This is the same with Dells... When you buy the computer, the Dells come pre-activated with a "default" product key Dell uses to activate their machines . The sticker on the computer is only there so that if you need to reinstall your version of XP, its there and will be activated through Microsoft...

Its confusing... I know... :wacko:
