Win XP Product Key Number-How to find it

Virtual machines do if you install Windows.

Not all virtual machine apps will ask for the key (and none of them should ask for the product ID). The OP is asking about VirtualBox (Vbox). I have never seen the Vbox software ask for a product key. I've seen the normal installation process for XP ask for a product key, but that is not Vbox asking.

Do you mean the activation key ??

I`ve never seen an install ask for the product ID.

The Install Disk doesn't, the VMWare/Vbox program does. You have to activate even in a VM.

Nope. Vbox doesn't ask.

The install disk might not ask for the key either (e.g. embedded VLK).

I agree to have to activate in VM. The box does not have the activation code. That is written on the computer tower. Since I have a bunch of WinXP towers around this has become quite a project.

I bought an XP Pro disc with activation code a short time ago at local tech store.

It would still be interesting to know but may be mute now.

Thanks for input.
