Is There A Way To Extract A Product Key From The CD?
I have been using a CD with service pack 2 to upgrade users from xp home to xp pro, and all of a sudden, the key doesn't work. I've gotten a new product key from my reseller, but it doesn't work with this cd.

Yes there is a way to find the product key from the CD. Normally the product key can be found if you explore the CD. There would be a folder of Serial No or Product key in it. Different CDs have different product keys and that's the reason the new key is not working on the CD. You need to ask the CD from the seller to install Windows XP properly.

I do not believe that product codes are actually tied to the windows installation CDs. I have restored countless computers using the same CD but the correct code for the computer in question. You cannot use an install code from a win98 machine during an XP disk because there are format differences. If you are re-installing on a machine due to problems or upgrading , you can run SIW and capture codes for most Microsoft products. You can download SIW at -----
SIW.exe ---. If you have the code from a reseller, just select "Register by Telephone" and call Microsoft. Explain your situation and they will activate over the phone.
