How long is the valid product key

I've had this computer for five years, I recently had the motherboard and the hard disk replaced by a technician, the product key is on the chassis and should be correct.  Fact the keys expire?

Hi michellearmstrong,

1. do you receive an error message when you try to use the product key or activation Windows XP?

I suggest you follow the suggestions by Stuart W J and check if it helps:

I hope this helps.
