Volume License Product Keys: Changes with Windows XP Service Pack 1 | |

Thanks Smiviz. Software updates are intended for use by legally licensed users of Microsoft products. Microsoft is striving to ensure that licensed users continue to get updates uninterrupted by software pirates. Users of pirated software hurt licensed users by taking bandwidth from download servers and software updates intended for licensed users. Microsoft has determined through investigations that most pirated installations are made with either of two VLKs. VLKs are used by corporate or other volume license customers to install Windows XP on their computers. These two particular VLKs, however, were never in use by a customer in a production deployment. Product keys are 25-character alphanumeric codes arranged in five groups of five characters each and used during setup to install the product. The product key produces the product ID number that, after setup is completed, is displayed on the General tab in the System Properties dialog box. | ||
