Err,  it's a peace offering ?, the American Eagle and the Pagan Brit Unicorn ,and still part of our Royal crest ,
for my point, Mudmanc an me disagree at times , I guess it's a heritage thing ,maybe I see insults where they ain' intended ,
and same for Mudmanc , ? either way he will always have my respect , I hope he sees it the same way ,

Roco,
BTW , back on topic, I am sure the key isn't on the disk,  a limited is , but for valdation the full Lic key is needed

I have legit XP home and Pro , I always write the key on the disk ,it's normaly on the folder or box , and easy lost that way
I do that out of habit on all programs that require a licence key ,
I have Xp home that I dont use ,I put it on a spare computer a year or so back , got it validated , then forgot about the computer
( I scraped it for the parts , last year I put the XP home on my laptop, and it validated online OK , aparently there is a 180 day limit on the validation, I reloaded the laptop with M.E and gave it away , that was a year back, now I have a spare computer that is good for XP home  and I am about to upgrade it  to my X-p home disk, I just read  you can only do this online so many times ?
anyone any thoughts on the 180 days and limited # of times for a online validation , b4 I start ,

 First have a beer, thenrealise that you can only activate as you saty so many times, thy eare stingy strange like that, all you have to do  is call them , and go through there little hoop, then you'll be fine.

 As far as the key not being on the disk, which one, there's a couple, one to allow yo uto complete the installation, and then there's the one that MS checks to see if the OS has been installed, and in use on how many machines compared the the licence that has been purchased with the disk.

 Think about this for a second. 

 Or better yet, do it !  Install the OS, it will ask you for an installation key, that's on the side of the machine ( if put there) or on the package when purchased, now you have to punch this key in to get any further, keeping in mind , the machine is not connected to the internet.

 You punch in the key, so, if it weren't on the disk, then how could it possibly know if you typed in the correct sequence of digits and letters ? It can't.

 When you activate, all it does is check that key, to see , as I said before, hoe many times it has been activated.

 To me, there's nothing to figure out. Nothing to ponder. it's basic thinking. But then again, I never did think like most other people.  :haha:

coffee / java / and my personal favorite swedish gasoline  :haha: never put sugar , or honey, or milk cream whatever in your bean juice, it somehow counteracts the caffeine qualities, so you actually could get more tired then you were before you drank your daily grind.

aar, yea, from the looks of your post, your in dire need of one of the last legal drugs, pushed ferociously by street corner chumps marketing off the fast pace lifestyles as were trying to compete with the electronic machines that we've created to make our live uhm, easier ?  :haha: :haha:

 So sit back for a french press or two, and think it over Smile

lol, the point I am trying to make is licence key is not on the CD , all thats on the CD is a machine number generator ,
that links to the inputed key , and indeed keyfinders do the reverse
Math on the computer and show the original key ,

I can live with that if you explain how a number generator ( usually random ) will mysteriously know what the key that was printed on the outside of the box is , see what I mean ? or not
