Use our INNOBATE Product Key Recovery to recover your Windows XP,
Windows 2000 or Windows 2003 product key, when you can not find the CD
Cover, User Manual, License Agreement Documentation or somewhere on
the case of computer system.

or purchase it from the following:-
https://license.ntitles.net/purchase.asp?m=48F057E3E9B04784A1B0CE4F6F96C987&u=72...

Purchase it for $29.95? when there are plenty of apps will do this and more
for FREE.
Nothing wrong with getting paid for your work but that price is a little
steep.

The Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder is a freeware utility that retrieves your

options to copy the key to clipboard, save it to a text file, or print it
for safekeeping. It works on Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, Server 2003,
Windows Vista, Office XP, Office 2003, and Office 2007.

Win keyfinder helps you retrieve your windows Xp, win 2000, windows me, 98,
2003 and .NET Product keys from the registry and display it for you.
Usually the keys are encoded and stored in the registry it decodes it and
also allows You to change Windows XP, 2003, and .Net Product Keys just press
of a button. It is simple and easy to use.Here are some key features of
"WinKeyFinder":

XPRock uses open sourced material, that is now used by some Viruses to
download window logins, and McAfee virus scanners detect this
application as a Malware, so do other virus scanners. XPRock opens
your computer system up to the possibility of Root Kit attacks.

INNOBATE Product Key Recovery has been verified by McAfee to be free
of Malware; its installation package has been also verified to be
virus free. This is something not done by others. INNOBATE Product
Key Recovery is an Administrator, Technician Tool, who maintains large
corporate networks, and has policies that require them to use or
download software from verified sources, which INNOBATE's website and
software meet.

INNOBATE also offers INNOBATE Product Key Recovery as a shareware at
CNET, which will do what most home users will need it for, as it is
not feature limited, but has a 30 day limit. Print the product key
code, and store it somewhere safe, or print it to a file and store it
on your computer system for later use as well.

Good grief, what a bunch of mostly silly posts. amongst the tools I have, I
like BelArc Advisor for such things. It's free, been around quite awhile,
and reliable/stable.

There are several other free alternatives, too, including one called jelly
bean finder or something like that; I no longer have it so can't give you a
link readily. I'm glad you nuked the guy trying to spam you for money;
that's downright stupid.

BTW: Are you certain there isn't a sticker or label on the bottom or back
of the PC with the number on it? Or a Certificate of Authority that came
with the XP CD?
