My company goes bankrupt. They gave me the computer they use with a XP disc but I have no activation key

Hello

So I have this old model that was given to me by my company when the company went under (a place in R & D that loses funding). It seems to be a generic PC cobbled together from pieces of the difference, some being spare parts. It has a sticker of windows vista in the detail but xp pro installed. They gave me an xp pro disk. However when I uses a key Locator to get the license key and try to use it with the disc, it says it is unacceptable so I think they gave me the wrong disc.

Is there something I can do? May download and install vista? (shudders at the thought)

Thank you.

Hello

I'll try and help you, but be informed that Microsoft has a policy of a license per machine. If the computers were running on the volume license key, then you will not be able to activate Windows. Usually the license will limit the key to a certain number of facilities which must be only the Organization of the licensee.

You can find that some clarification on licenses in volume on this article. To find detailed information on the single user license agreement, go through the link and check.

Hope this information is helpful and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.
