The key is on a sticker that is on the outside of the shrinkwrap. If that's tossed away, you have no key.

My brother did this too last year :roll:
I think Newegg customer support told him what to do to get a replacement key from MS.

Nobody here is going to tell you what a valid key is, so if he can't find it, he's screwed.

Although the first ten characters of the original devils0wn key have already been recited, not that's any use anymore.

Has the garbage man came by yet? I'd start digging through those trash cans.

lol, shouldn't the key be the FIRST thing people check for when they buy software?

I have a key that he can use that will allow for SP2.

I didn't ask for a key.

When I bought mine from Newegg the sticker was on the manual. That was a couple years ago though.

Here is where it is now

Can't tell if it is on the wrap or the manual. I would assume the wrap since that seems to be a common answer.

Just use a pirated cd key and get the corporate version of xp that does not have to be activated.

All legitimate, of course.
