XP Pro Question - how to determine CD key used

[Filet MP]

Guys,

I have a pile of XP cds, and a ton of keys, and 2 dead machines. I'm booting them on life support and need to figure out what keys went with which installs so I can reuse the keys on some new kit I have coming.

Googled it, found nothing. Would really appreciate a hand on this one.


Thanks in advance all!

Well, this works when run from the machine in question. Depending on how dead your machines are, I don't know if it will be of any help to you or not.

Edit - This doesn't seem to give reliable results.

I'll try that, many thanks.

The one I posted above now seems to be acting a little buggy. Maybe SP2 is confusing it, I don't know.

I don't recommend using it, though.

This is the one you want:
