windows xp professioanl serial number

You can find it on the CD case that came with it when you purchased it.

This should be inscribed on the case if its OEM--Unfortunately Win XP PRO unlike its predecessors is very fussy on product codes, its activation policy will make it difficult to activate a product which has already been installed and activated.

There have been instances where systems shut down after 30 days of inactivation because of more than one installations on differnt systems.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Do I get this correctly?
Becaus if i look at your writingstyle and all i have to conclude you're not a IT professional or anything close.
Do you really think we are gonna give you a serialnumber just like that.
About the other people who replied, if this can't read a simple serialnumber off the packaging then i'm very afraid to let the guy do any I.T. work or related.

If I misunderstand your request, please forgive me for the above insinuations.

Regards,
Mark
