Windows XP Pro CD key

[berrick]

I posted earlier and it seems to have disappeared?

We have puters with genuine cd-keys but cant find the disk they were installed from. Is there a way of working out which cd/type they were installed from? Are there only so many keys that will work with a particular cd-key are they tied to the volume label like the volume labels below?

English Windows XP Professional Corporate/Volume - WXPVOL_EN

I know that you can get some info from the pid

pid xxxxx-640-xxxxxxx-xxxxx = vlk

pid xxxxx-oem-xxxxxxx-xxxxx = oem

Hope this can help you out.
