Hi

Download Belarc - then compare the PK with the CDs you have:

If the two CDs are identical, it does not matter.. it is the key code that
makes the difference..

If you want to do some detective work, www.google.com ..

If agentx is a reference to the mystery ingredient in 'BUGGER' (Best
Universal Grit Grime and Effluent Remover), then don't bother with Google..

Ref. BUGGER.. relates to a joke told by Jasper Carrott during a show he put
on at Nottingham University in the UK some years ago..

"BUGGER (Best Universal Grit Grime and Effluent Remover).. if OMO doesn't
whiten it, and DAZ doesn't brighten it, BUGGER it"..

Ref. OMO and DAZ.. brand names of well known washing powders on sale in the
UK..

Its a play on words.. Brit humour.. well I thought that it was funny.. ..
Miss PT, help me out here.. you must owe me one by now..

You can determine the Product Key that was used to activate Windows XP
with one of the following utilities:
Windows XP Product Key finder:

Magic Jelly Bean key finder:

Good luck

No, and it doesn't matter. The CDs are identical.

Only the product keys differ, and the product keys are not on the
CDs.
