| 322284 | 2005-06-07 08:18:00 | There is another way... If you have the CD and maybe the packaging or booklet and can prove so ( I took a digital photo) Miscrosoft can generate a new key for you in the event that you can't locate the original sticker or certificate. I used this sevice not so long back for a copy of office 2k, rung them, took a pic and emailed it to them of said goods and a couple of days later a new key was emailed to me. :2cents: of course there other faster ways Muuhhhhhha Ha :p |

| 322285 | 2005-06-08 02:34:00 | I just noticed that too Billy.... Ah well, not much we can do about it, so far this all seems pretty legit. Personally, I like Black Jellybeans the best :) The Key can be changed, Im not sure if Magic jellybean does it... But Microsoft has a full how-to on changing it at their website |

| 322286 | 2005-06-08 04:11:00 | That would be the work of those trusty search engine bots/spiders bringing us visitor's from every corner of the www :p If you search with google for Windows XP serial number, we are hit number 14. Us discussing Jellybeans is probably not what they were after :rolleyes: Moving up everyday. Now no 9. With speech marks around it, we're only no.3. /me bets that hackers are visiting this site every few minutes thinking they'll get a free key! |

| 322287 | 2005-06-08 04:18:00 | TY Jen . . . that's what got me here! Aren't ya glad? . . . makes me remember a line from a Beatles movie (Hard Day's Night) when Ringo is asked by some stuffed shirts if he is a MOD or a ROCKER . He says "A lil of both, I think . Yes, I'm a "MOCKER" well . . it's kinda funny if you imagine a Liverpool accent anyway . . . . . . (I hope I haven't said anything bad, after all I don't speak NewZealandeese) |

| 322288 | 2005-06-08 05:16:00 | Just a minor point: It's all very well to have the code on a file on the computer . You can use the file to print a few copies of the number to keep in safe places . But think about when you will need the code? Will you be able to read a file on the disk when you need the code number . ? |

Haha, exactly what I was thinking about . . . . somewhat unfortunate that not everyone in the world carries the logic like you . :( |

| 322290 | 2005-06-08 09:52:00 | you can change your windows xp key, i think magic jellybean does it...... For those of us that made their own computer and have bought a licence for MSDos 3.3, MSDos 6.22, Win 3.11, Win95, Win98SE and now using WinXP Pro I am inclined to think that I have paid enough to Bill Gates. My original disks are still here. I still have my original (one) floppy disk containing MS Flight Sim Version 1. Not that I use it any more. Just historic value maybe. MSDos 3.3 was on one 360Kb floppy. MSDos 6.22 on 3 1.44 Meg floppies. Win 3.11 on 8 1.44 Meg floppies with the printer drivers. Win95 on 25 or so floppies. Win98 and Win98SE came on CDs as does WinXP. Change your WinXP key if you wish. This sounds a little like piracy to me. |

Dead hard drive then no Windows and can't read the hard drive. |

| 322292 | 2005-06-08 09:59:00 | Hi Folks. May be a bit slow today... but why would you want to change the licence key on a product that you own? :cool: | Scouse (83) | ||
| 322293 | 2005-06-08 10:37:00 | That's a good question, but read the Microsoft Website, as they give some good examples on the same page that tells you how to change the WinXP Home Key. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
