Hi

If you mean the 25 alphanumeric Product Key - download Aida32. You can find the PK in that program:

Get AIDA32 or Magic Jellybean Finder, either program will
show you the product key used for the install.

You put the PID in when you *install* Windows. You shouldn't need it when
you activate, unless you're choosing to change it at that point.

So what, exactly, is the problem?
