Is it possible to change the license number on Windwows 2000 SP2 after installation?

Reinstalling the entire system again is not an option.

I dont mind reinstalling windows providing all the drivers, programs and data don't have to be reinstalled.

Ive heard before that deleting win.com will let you do this. It it true ???

Run Regedit
HKEY Local Machine/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Product ID
Double click on Product ID to edit the number

Please post a comment describing exactly what license number you're talking about. Other than the product ID I know of no other unique number that relates to the EULA.
