Change your Product Key without a Reinstall to match your
genuine Product Key or COA:
First, please verify if your COA sticker or product key (
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/howtotell/en/coa.mspx)
matches your Product Key being used on your system. You can
view your product key with the Genuine Advantage diagnostics tool
(at least the last 15 digits) located here:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012
The Genuine Advantage Product Key Update Tool is only valid for
users attempting to change their current non-genuine Product Key
to a genuine COA sticker or genuine Product Key - all without a reinstall!
