This program displays the
Windows Activation Key and
Product ID on Windows XP. I
was fed up that Microsoft
haven't provided a feature
to view this data easily on
Windows XP. A commercial
program is available to do
this but all it does is read
and simply decode the
activation key value from
the registry and read the
product ID straight from the
registry.
If Windows is already
activated, set the following
registry key to be able to
enter a new key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\WPAEvents]
"OOBETimer"=hex:ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff
