I've got to install SP1 on an XP machine that's using the illegitimate VLK. They've purchased an OEM version of XP Pro, as a clean install isn't an option can I just change the Product key from the VLK one to the new one they purchased. I know how to do this. From what I've read I think it should work?

As long as the new key is legit, it should work fine. I don't think OEM license keys are different.

Excellent, thanks. The key is completely legit.

Just to let you know, it didnt work. A Volume License Install doesn't seem to accept a legit OEM Key... so only solution is a fresh install ;(
