Product ID vs Product key

[Guest]

I have installed two seperate legal versions of Windows XP home on two home computers Now I am confused as to which install CD goes to which computer. Is there a way to check in the registry to verify.

Download and install Aida32.
It will show you both the Product ID and the Product Key.

get the free Everest Home edition from
http://www.lavalys.com/index.php?page=product&view=1
which is an excellent general System Info tool, and its Operating System
- Operating System page will tell you the one used

Note that if the machine came with XP installed, this will probably give
a key used in producing an original image, then cloned to all machines
they make. So it is not the one for a reinstall. But then the key will
be on a label on the case of the machine
