Yeah, freephone as well. The activation window gives you a big long number, you type that in in groups of six numbers, then it asks a few more questions like have you installed this on more than one computer and did you buy it OEM or retail, then it gives you the activation number. | |

Update, got the OEM ISO but it still didn't activate. Phoned the number and got a code and it worked. | |

Got another ISO which I'm going to try in a bit, see what happens. | |

Last time I called, it was all automated and I couldn't get a free number like I had done previously :( | |

If you have the wrong kind of key, it'll tell you it's invalid at the install process. And non-SP keys still work with SP2 discs, I have an original non-SP copy of XP and I use an SP2 disc for reinstalling. | |

OEM discs are different from retail/corp/etc etc disc. | |

Yeah its a Toshiba laptop, completely legitimate bought new but just running slow hence the reinstall. | |

SP2 keys differentiate from the standard install as far as I know | |

I've got a product key on a sticker - need to know which ISO this is so it'll activate - is there a way of finding this out? |
