UNSOLVED
Incorrect product key
Hi ! I have made reinstalation of my XP Prof. on my Dell Latitude D500 but not new instalation just update. I have OEM version Windows XP. I have used original Dell reinstalation CD and product key from back side of my laptop. I did not change any hardware configuration. I have received request for activation during instalation but product key is incorrect ! How it is possible ? I can not try it via phone due to off day today and tomorrow. Thanks for advice.

- First of all thanks for advices. I have tried to type that product key a lot of times with changes between O and 0 etc...no changes. I expect issue with OEM license that I can not to change this copy of XP...I have lost my two days job even I have legal copy of XP. Where is my advantage to have original and legal copy of XP ? I have received advices from my friends to solve that illegaly but I want to solve it legaly !!!
Ok, I missed that you are trying to install a different version. Each version has its own key, and to install a different version than what originally shipped, it must be a full version and you must format the drive to install it. Dell will not provide tech support for using a version of Windows different than they shipped to you.
