Guest Gianni Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 An _OLD_ Fujitsu Siemens PC in my office has two licenses sticked on it. One is a windows 2000 Professional OEM which is actually installed. The other is an XP-Professional; apparently a Retail one. (there are no OEM markings on the sticker). The sticker is different than any other on the microsoft "how to tell" site, but I think it is genuine. The code on the sticker (VFGQ3-BC9PC-TPFQP-TPKTX-4J4W6) won't work with any media I tried. The original media is lost and Fujitsu won't replace it anymore. Can you tell me which media do I need ad if I can get it from Microsoft EMEA? Can you also tell me if this code will allow the upgrade of win2000 or if I neeed to reinstall from scratch? Thank you very much Gianni

Yes, I checked with EMEA and it is a Fijitsu OEM License. I'm getting replacement CDs from Microsoft. ( http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/326246 ) > Another tip.. Please don't put your key code out for ALL to see.. Do!? Idiot Me. Can I edit the post to remove the code?
