Re: product ID

Scott;
Are you using the original CD that came with that Product Key?
There are many different types and they are not compatible with each other.
If you have an OEM computer, you may no longer be able to use your Product
Key and CD.
Look very closely, S-5, O-0, I-1, G-6 and others look alike.
Have someone else try, sometimes another set of eyes and fingers can get it
correct.

changed my motherboard due to problems. Now I can't access windows to get
product key for help because windows wants to activate before access is
granted. The original key comes up as invalid but I know its correct and
authentic. How can I get someone to help when I can't get at the product
key? Catch 22.
