XP Pro full verison license issue

[Wonderman]

I have a hologrammed MS disk with the product key purchased from MS as a
discounted promo item when XP first came out. I instlled it ( cant recall
registering it ) and have sice moved on to OEM software that came with the
machine and then Vista. Would love to sell it now that it is just taking up
space and it seems I can get decent dollars for it . Seems there are all
varitities of it on eBay.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for info as to how I can sell
this purchased legal copy with product key ? (BTW - this is not an ad )

More than likely, the original packaging had some words that explained all
that, or it may be explained on the CD itself. What are all the words on
the CD?

The CD has no unusual wording to any effect on this matter. The packaging
has nothing either other than promotional info and the CD Key sticker. If I
sell this will the new owner have difficulty using it ? Cant recall about
registering it but it is not in use andhasnt been in use for years.

There should be no issues if the original documentation and certificates,
etc., are sold along with the original Windows XP cd and that this was
an original retail purchase. What is the product key printed on --- an
orange label or a holographic COA?

However, it would be nice to inform the prospective buyer that it is XP
without any Service Pack and that the buyer would/should get and install
SP2 along with the 60 or so post-SP2 updates.

The key is on an orange sticker. I've got the extra SP2 Cd to go along with
it.

Outstanding!

If you mention SP-2 in the ad, make it clear that it is a separate CD
so they do not come back at you because they expected a Windows XP
with SP-2 integraded.

You may also include this link:

I would suggest only including the information and not slipstream it
for them.

Thanks, will do.

So it seems there isnt an issue with me selling this software ? Other ads
mention a COA and I havent got it. I presume as I activated this that a new
user will have to make a call and state it is sold to a new owner and the
prior owner has deleted it ? Geez this license stuff is very detailed.
