Trying to install XP Pro as an upgrade. when it asks for
the product key code from the folder, I enter it and says
that the key code is not valid. What now? - - - Glynn
 
Glynn;
Look very closely.
O-0, I-1, G-6, S-5 and others often look alike.
Have some one else try, sometimes another set of eyes and fingers can
get it right.
 
Greetings --

You need to examine the Product Key very carefully. It's awfully
easy to mistake a "B" for an "8," a "G" for a "6," an "S" for a "5,"
or a "Q" for a "0" or "O." Fortunately, Microsoft had the good sense
to leave the "1's," "I's," "O's," and "0's" out of the equation.
Also, be sure that your CapsLock if _off_ while entering the Product
Key.
