Update Microsoft Windows XP SP2 Product Key

Postby Kevin on Tue Jan 02, 2007 7:20 am

Just found Microsoft's new Update Tool for updating your Windows XP Service Pack 2 product key.

Download it from:
http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/selfhelp/PkuInstructions.aspx

The old key changing script no longer works.

Regards,

Kevin

Looks pretty interesting. Can you explain to this newbie what this is used for? Does it apply to say a Dell or Gateway system that has the Windows Key on the side?

I have worked on some PC's from Gateway, Dell, etc. that WGA tool flagged as having invalid XP. Even though the keys were on the case. Microsoft was providing new keys for these PC's. THere was no easy way besides reloading to change the key out.
