character product key code compiled of 5 sets of 5 letters & numbers mixed
together. A product ID is 20 numbers (which will include the letters OEM
after the first 5 digits if your XP came installed on your PC from like
Dell/HP/Acer etc) which can be found in your system properties window
after
installation of Win XP has completed.
