The following text was published previously in another forum by Darin Smith MS (MSFT) and can probably answer better I could question:
"Computers, which are built by the large manufacturers come with Windows pre-installed, come with 2 two product keys:
(A) OEM SLP: this key comes pre-installed in Windows, when it comes to the factory. This key is designed to work with Bios OEM flag only on the hardware of this manufacturer. Then, when Windows was installed using the OEM SLP (in factory) Windows key leans on the motherboard and he sees the flag proper Bios OEM (for the manufacturer and the version of Windows) and activates. (that's why you had no need to turn on your computer after you brought it home)
(B) SLP COA: it's the product key that you see on the sticker on the side (bottom or sometimes a laptop battery) of your computer. It's a valid product key, but it should be used only in certain situations (for example, this case when OEM SLP key ceases to be activated for some reason any). The key must be activated by phone.
As long as the installation of Vista came on the computer you won't need the product key.

I was checking my emails as usual and after trying to open a message not read all emails have been deleted from my Inbox. At the end of this process, about 300 folders with names like "QxxzBx z.html.pX10aRdGp.html.part" were placed on my desk. How can I recover my mails and make sure that this problem does not happen?
I use Thunderbird version with Mac OS X 10.9.2 24.4.0
I hope that this does not happen again. Perhaps as a test, you can select some messages and drag them to your desktop, to see if this occurs behavior. Of course, that we do not know why it happened, but it might help to understand if this is actually what happened.
I'm glad you could at least undelete them, Adam!

I had to wipe my hard drive due to a battle lost by a virus. My installation of XP Pro SP2 disk disappeared, so I used my XP Pro SP3 OEM disc to install Windows. When I used my valid product key XP Pro SP2 I was shocked to receive an invalid product key. I always ran Microsoft Genuine product and would like to know how to reach a genine advantage accreditation with my present prediciment. Any help would be appreciated and we thank you in advance.
Hi KevinDitner,I'm afraid, but you can't do that. Your product key Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) should be used only for the laptop which came with it.You can get the CD of Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (SP2) by contacting the Support team customer Microsoft.More information on: -
Re: How can I recover my MS Office key after the installation of recovery?
I restored my computer (laptop TOSHIBA PORTEGE) using HARD drive recovery. Everything worked well and I want to have a new pc now. Unfortunately, I need to save my version of office and 4 digits on the back of my pc have been erased. How can I get the key?
Thank you for every response.
As much as I know Toshiba does not offer preinstalled Office product key. It's actually version 60 days.
Either you use the valid license key if you have already registered it in the past, or you can check-in online. -
How can I get a Vista product key
Hello
My laptop compaq with disk hard vista is dead during the holiday season. I could buy a disc of recovery from the supplier, but when I went to enter numbers of validation on my laptop, I found the 3rd sequence of the number worn and unreadable. Anyway for me to * sigh * buy a product code. I'm tired of trying to guess what unreadable characters are... I want to just my laptop to work again.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. While I don't agree with "planned obsolescence" of a product (nor the design of the approved certificate), I can understand the reasoning. My laptop came with a premium version of vista (an exclusive retailer at the time), I had to enter the passcode (he asked for it). I'm just a little upset because of my situation. You know a way to use the software finder key on an external hard drive? I still have my only crushed (and his readable thank God) so that I can recover some of my files. I won't be "forced" to buy a new operating system when I match my needs.
Thanks again
There are external ways to find the product key installed - but chances are that the key on the previous installation is simply the manufacturer OEM_SLP key - which is what you would get installed by the recovery disks. The only reason why it would be different if you had reinstalled using an ordinary drive in Vista, either had some activation issues with the system installed at a given moment.
