Hi Guys,

Once Windows is activated is there a way to change the working product key. I just want to see what happens, when you put a wrong product key. Does it ask for activation or what happens.

Thanks
A.R.

Hi,

As far as I remember it was somewhere under this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
It worked for Windows98/ME so I am not sure how's with WindowsXP...
