Updating CD product key without reinstall.

My company purchased a number of refurbished machines
that came with Win2k preinstalled. However, all the
machines have the same cd key. We have puchased
additional OEM licences to bring the machines into
compliance. The question is... Can I update the CD key
in registry without having to reinstall the OS??


Thanks in advance,
steve

No, and there's no real reason to. So long as you have a valid license
for each machine, it doesn't matter what product key was used to install
