Is there any way to tell which key is which version? I have a list of keys that I bought from Microsoft but no way to tell which are OEM and which are full versions. Its a mixed variety of each of Home and Pro. I dont know what to do! Can anybody help?
If you are talking about key codes you are bordering on illegal.
Particularly if you appear to have a lot of cd's at your disposal
Microsoft generally doesn't deal with OEM cd's or keycodes. You should probably contact MS since they gave you the list.
If this is a list that you made yourself, then unfortunately there isn't any way that I know of determining which product key belongs to which CD. Hopefully you haven't thrown all the CD cases with the keys away, becuse they are going to be your only hope.
When I say this I mean that I bought some full version and some OEM because I have to install XP on many, many machines. Unfortunatly the keys got mixed up and therein lies the problem. No, I only keep two copies of each cd which doesnt help much... :(
Thanks guys for the help :)
You'll just have to sort it out as you install...The OEM keys won't work with the Retail cd's or the other way around.
But as you do that,
Write them down as OEM or retailQuote:

That way if you have to do it again, you don't have to go through this again!
