Off topic question: I have two product keys, how can I tell what software they go with?

Off topic question: I have two product keys, how can I tell what software they go with?

 

I've gotten the sleeves and the disks mixed up I think?

Is there a way to tell what software belongs to what key?

 

Thanks

Sure, try using ProduKey and it should tell you what key belongs to

what app: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

If you have either or both installed on your computer, run Belarc Advisor

and it will id which is which.

That's a good idea, but I have various software and sleeves that are miss

matched...

And Belarc Advisor will show you what software you have installed and what

key it has, if any, just install it and have a look you'll be surprised what

you can find out. <g>

Are you talking about Windows XP? If so, note that the product keys

are not on CDs themselves (the same is probably true even for

non-Windows products). As long as both are of the same type (Home vs.

Professional, Retail vs. OEM. and Full vs. Upgrade), the CDs are

identical and either can be used with either key.

No, the Product Key is not stored on the installation CD in any way,

shape or form. If the CDs and sleeves are for the same version and

license type, it doesn't make any difference which goes where.
