Activation Key

[Todd]

I loaded my machine and realized that I used the wrong Activation Key. I
have a second ativation key I would like to switch this machine to but don't
want to reload. Any suggestions on how to changethe Activation Key w/o a
reload?
Thanks,
Todd

You mean the CD key? Don't worry about it - as long as you have sufficient
licenses, it doesn't matter which cd/cd-key you used to install it.

But if our hero used a pirated key, he will be unable to load service packs
and etc, because MS has blacklisted the key.

Thanks! I do have valid licenses!! I just loaded the machine w/o thinking
about not being able to change the key. I guess the Win95 days of chaning
it in the registry are over.
Thanks for your help!
