MY computer was stolen and the Windows Hologram Sticker
with my Windows XP Code was scratched off by the theif.
What do I do when I need it. I followed the instructions
and Put the sticker on the case and now it is gone!
Presuming that the machine has not been recovered, include the price of
replacement software in the insurance claim
If it has been recovered, and works, get the free Aida from
http://aumha.org/freeware.htm\aida
which is an excellent general System Info tool, and its Operating System
- Operating System page will tell you the one used. Also Software -
Licenses may be able to tell you numbers for other things, like Office
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 the label should
have been stuck on by the maker, so I hope that is not your case
