| [QUOTE]Originally Posted by mattyb515: Ok so we have a bunch of computers at work and one of them was being upgraded home XP to XP pro. So everything installs fine and it asks for the product key - I enter and no problems. Until, windows loads for the first time and says I might be a victim of software piracy. In my infinite wisdom I grabbed the wrong package and entered a cd key to regular xp. How do I go about changing it? All windows wants to do is to take me to Microsoft's site to purchase a product key. I already have one I just need to change. Thanks for the help all in advance. [/QUOTE] You could do a 'repair install' using your XP Pro CD and entering the correct product key when prompted.
