How to recover a code product key for windows xp upgrade 2003

How to recovery code product key

(Required for installation) Windows 25-character product key isn't on the installation CD in any way, shape, or form.  If it is a retail license, the product key is stored on the CD packaging on a bright orange sticker that says: "Don't lose this number."  If it's an OEM license (factory installed), it is stored on a label that the PC manufacturer affixed outside your box, or on the bottom of your laptop.

To restore a lost product key:

If your system is still running, you should be able to use Belarc Advisor from http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html to find the product key.  (If you have an OEM factory-installed license and have not reinstalled from the OS, the product key revealed is probably the disk image used at the factory and not your specific product key, therefore it probably impossible - and certainly should not be - used for re-installation.)

If it is a retail license, and you have proof of purchase:

If it's an OEM license, you must contact the manufacturer of the computer; Although very few of manufacturers/suppliers record product keys, they sold, it's worth a try before having to buy a new license.

    How to get a new product key to activate sp1

    I downloaded the sp1 update and after installation, I discovered that I needed a new kay product for activation. HOW CAN I GET THE KEY PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE?

    Your installation reports that it is authentic - but you have a cached validation failed.

    Try a manual validation to www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate

    If she passes (and should be) you will be offered IE9 and MSE - you don't have to take them!

    [edit]

    I have just re-ckecked the key - and it's for an ASUS computer.

    You must purchase a legal Win Ultimate, or go back to the original OS that came with the computer using the manufacturer's recovery disks.

  • How can I find the product key for Windows 7 Home Premium (preinstalled) as sticker has worn through.

    Someone knows if the product key is stored in any file on windows.  Or does anyone know if Microsoft will have kept no record of the product key and can send information.

    The short answer is no.

    Even if a product key is stored in Windows and can be retrieved by various utilities third keyfinder, when Windows was preinstalled, this key is a special key used by the manufacturer of the computer to automatically activate Windows when, for example, you use the manufacturer method to restore the computer to its factory condition.

    This key can be used if you want to reinstall using a Windows CD/DVD installation that you have purchased.  To do this, you use the key on the COA label on your machine.

    If you need this key, your most likely solution is to use a bright light and a magnifying glass.  If it is completely unreadable, it is possible - though unlikely - that the manufacturer of the computer (non-Microsoft) can be useful.

    No key will be useful if you want to install Windows on another computer.  OEM (preinstalled) Microsoft software product keys are valid only for the computer on which the software was first installed.
