Checking the Product ID
Windows Xp Home Edition Product Key
During the installation of Windows XP, you are prompted to enter a 25 digit Windows XP Product Key, which Windows XP converts into the system's product ID. Because of security concerns about piracy, Microsoft does not provide a tool that allows you to view the Product Key (or CD Key) that was used to install the operating system. However, Windows XP Service Pack 1 ships with a list of the two product IDs that are created by the pirated product volume license product keys. (The Product ID can be found by right clicking My Computer and choosing Properties) To determine eligibility for the update, Service Pack 1 compares the Windows XP product ID on the system to this list. The comparison and the list reside locally on the users PC and no information is sent to Microsoft as part of this process.
*Service Pack 1 for Windows XP will fail to install on installations of Windows with one of the following product IDs:
XXXXX-640-0000356-23XXX and XXXXX-640-2001765-23XXX (as well as the corporate version beginning with 'FCKGW..')
XP Key Viewer (pre-SP2) OR XP Key Viewer (SP2) -- if you have already installed SP2 and the older key viewer does not show the right key, try the SP2 (Magical Jelly Bean Keyinder v1.41) version key viewer.
Samsung s8 plus compared to note 5. The following message will be displayed if installation fails for this reason:
Service Pack 1 Setup Error. The product key used to install Windows is invalid. Please contact your system administrator or retailer immediately to obtain a valid product key. You may also contact Microsoft Corporation’s Anti-Piracy Team by emailing piracy@microsoft.com if you think you have purchased pirated Microsoft software. Please be assured that any personal information you send to the Microsoft Anti-Piracy team will be kept in strict confidence. |
How to change your Product ID in Windows XP
Please Note: The CD Key Generator allows you to create a unique key that uses your machines hardware and system profiles in the algorithm that generates the key. Because of this, the generated key is for the machine that generated it only, and rarely works on other machines. You must run the generator program to create your unique and valid key - there are no 'free' keys here, nor can I give help via email. This is a free program, with no support available.
If the product ID matches the invalid keys above, you may need to change the key (re-enter a valid key) in order to install Windows XP service pack 1, and to make sure your environment is legal. The XP CD Key changer program allows you to change your key on an already installed system.
Download the program, unzip it to a convenient folder. Go to that folder and double-click the program icon (labeled: 'update_xp_cd_key') to start it.
Follow the instructions. When asked if you want to generate a key, enter y.
The keygen tool will open. You will need to generate your own keys with the keygen tool..know which version of XP you have, for example XP Home, XP Professional, XP Professional Corporate, etc. to generate the proper key. This may take a few minutes depending on your system speed. Once you have generated a valid key (or one that tests as valid), go back to the key changer program and when asked if you want to generate a new key, enter n. This will open the Windows XP activation window.
Choose 'Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative activate Windows', click 'Next', then 'Change Product Key', enter the new key, then click on the red X to close the window.
You can use this tool to view your updated key:
XP Key Viewer (pre-SP2) OR XP Key Viewer (SP2) -- if you have already installed SP2 and the older key viewer does not show the right key, try the SP2 (Magical Jelly Bean Keyinder v1.41) version key viewer.
Important Note:When using the XP CD Key changer program, some users of corporate version installs have attempted to use Windows Update, received the error above, and then try to change the cd key, but the new key does not work. Perhaps this is due to Microsoft's new Windows Update tools locking the invalid version from updates, or may require editing your registry as in the article above from Microsoft. So, install Windows, update the key, then run Windows Update, in that order. Please remember, this is a free program, there is no support available.
-->This article describes how to change the Volume Licensing product key.
Original product version: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 10 - all editions
Original KB number: 328874
Introduction
Warning
The steps in the article are effective only on Volume License media. If you try these steps on OEM media or on retail media, you will not change the product key.
When you install Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, the media must match the product key. That is, the channel (MSDN, retail, OEM, Volume License, and so on), the SKU (Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home Edition, and so on), and the language (English, French, and so on) must match between the product key and the media. It is necessary so that you can successfully enter the product key. If the installation media does not match the product key, you receive the following error message:
Product Key is invalid.
If you use a 'leaked' product key (a product key that is known to be available to the public) to deploy Windows XP across multiple computers (a Volume Licensing installation), you might be unable to install Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1) and later versions of Windows XP, or automatically obtain updates from the Windows Update Web site. For example, you might receive the following error message when you install Windows XP SP1 and later versions of Windows XP:
Windows Xp Sp3 Product Key
The Product Key used to install Windows is invalid. Please contact your system administrator or retailer immediately to obtain a valid Product Key. You may also contact Microsoft Corporation's Anti-Piracy Team by emailing piracy@microsoft.com

Steps to change the volume licensing product key
This article describes two methods for how to change the Windows XP product key after a Volume Licensing installation to resolve the issue. One method uses the Windows Activation Wizard graphical user interface (GUI) and the other method uses a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) script. The Activation Wizard method is easier. However, if you must change the product key for multiple computers, the script method is more suitable.
Method 1: Use the Activation Wizard
Important
This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
322756 How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
If you only have a few volume licensing product keys to change, you can use the Activation Wizard.
Windows Xp Pro Product Key Generator
Note
We recommend that you run System Restore to create a new restore point before you follow these steps.
Deactivate Windows
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
In the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsNTCurrent VersionWPAEvents
In the topic pane, right-click OOBETimer, and then click Modify.
Change at least one digit of this value to deactivate Windows.
Reactivate Windows and add new product key
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type the following command, and then click OK.
%systemroot%system32oobemsoobe.exe /a
Click Yes, I want to telephone a customer service representative to activate Windows, and then click Next.
Click Change Product key.
Type the new product key in the New key boxes, and then click Update.
If you are returned to the previous window, click Remind me later, and then restart the computer.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 to verify that Windows is activated. You receive the following message: Windows is already activated. Click OK to exit.
Click OK.
Install Windows XP Service Pack 1a or a later version of Windows XP.
If you cannot restart Windows after you install Windows XP SP1 or a later version of Windows XP, try the following steps:
- Restart your computer and start pressing F8 until you see the Windows Advanced Options menu.
- Select Last Known Good Configuration from the menu and press ENTER. This option starts Windows by using a previous good configuration.
- Repeat steps 1 through 8 under 'Reactivate Windows and add new product key.'
If you can install SP1 or a later version of Windows XP and you can restart Windows, you have resolved the issue. If the issue has not been resolved, try method 2 or see the 'Next Steps' section for more troubleshooting resources.
Method 2: Use a script
Windows Xp Pro Product Key Generator
If you must change the product key for multiple computers, we recommend this method. You can create a WMI script that changes the volume licensing product key, and then deploy this script in a startup script.
The sample ChangeVLKey2600.vbs script and the sample ChangeVLKeySP1 script that are described in this section use the new volume licensing key that you want to enter as a single argument. It is in a five-part alphanumeric form.
We recommend that you use the ChangeVLKey2600.vbs script on Windows XP-based computers that are not running Windows XP SP1 and later versions of Windows XP and that you use the ChangeVLKeySP1.vbs script on Windows XP-based computers that are running Windows XP SP1 and later versions of Windows XP. These scripts perform the following functions:
- They remove the hyphen characters (-) from the five-part alphanumeric product key.
- They create an instance of the win32_WindowsProductActivation class.
- They call the SetProductKey method with the new volume licensing product key. You can create a batch file or a cmd file that uses either of the following sample scripts, together with the new product key as an argument.
You can deploy it as part of a startup script or run it from the command line to change the product key on a single computer.
Examples
