How to change license/key on Windows 2000 Pro

[Guest]

I have inherited a small problem. I have receintly take over care of a small
office network of 5 W2K computers. I discovered they all have the same OEM
license code. To correct the problem and comply with EULA/U.S. law etc. The
office purchased 5 valid licensed copies of W2K.
Is it possible to change the license code from the OEM to the valid ones I
have purchased without having to slick and reload the computers?

I don't know of any way to do this, although RockXP
(http://www.snapfiles.com/get/rockxp.html), which claims the ability
to do so for WinXP _might_ work for you.

To be honest, however, as long as you can now document the
ownership of a legitimate Win2K license for each computer, you really
needn't worry about the Product Key used during the installation.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll not point anyone else to that site for a
potential solution.
