There is a little utility floating around the net that shows the registration number, and another one that lets you change the serial, if by chance your serial spells something rude. Some of the big boys have even talked about a third one that actually makes serials...

allows you to view your xpkey, dunno why you need to, i always write mine behind my keyboard on a sticky note incase i loose it, but use that for whatever purpose, worked fine when i tried it on home edition so i assume it works on pro, i dont condone piracy in anyway i hope sp1 locks you all out!

Thx Chaosman that util was most helpful!
First, I really shouldn't support any pirated copys, but I had to clarify a few things here. First, windows update is not supposed to identify product ids until 10/1/02. Second, yes, you can change your key, and hopefully no one here will tell you how, you'll need to find that out yourself. Third, if you're using the corporate key, which you indicated so, the keys on the sides of cases will not work, since those are to be activated, all oem keys either require activation, or are tied to oem bios strings for activation. Best of luck, and I seriously recommend buying your next microsoft operating system.

Possible, but unlikely. Do you remember exactly what Adaware found?
