Okay in order to check for genuine software Open up My Computer. Click on the help icon and select the option "Is this Version of Windows Legal?" Once you click that it will take you to a survey type screen where you answer questions. Once you reach the end of that process it will let you know if your copy of Windows is genuine. If you are wanting IE7 my suggestion is to go ahead and download it and try it. Click on their little validate tab on the screen and go for it. The most that could happen is it says that your Windows copy is not genuine. However it IS illegal to have pirated software. Chances are if you are running XP that it is genuine. Good Luck to ya!

If the seller is a legitimate business, then you may get somewhere by calling or e-mailing their customer service department.  If you bought the computer from an individual, try dealing with that individual.  You may not get very far in either case.\n\nMicrosoft has a program called the "genuine Windows offer" whereby you can make your copy of Windows XP legitimate.  It may be free, or it may cost $149 for XP Pro, depending upon your circumstances.  You will be required to supply Microsoft with the counterfeit Windows XP CD.  If you did not receive a CD, and Windows XP was pre-installed, then you will be required to fill out what Microsoft calls "a counterfeit report regarding a fraudulent transaction" to qualify.\n\nRead through the various questions and answers at the following web site: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/FAQ.aspx?displaylang=en#Question5Label .\n\nGood luck.

The MS online electronic validation key is $99 for XP Home and $149 for XP Pro, both with SP2.  You can usually find legal versions (recommend full install rather than upgrade) for less at:  www.edirectsoftware.com\n\nYou can do a repair with the full install Cd and enter the new 25 digit Product Key.  That will give you a legal version as well as repair any missing or corrupt files.  You will have to go into the MS Updates to reinstall any patches or hot fixes.  The repair takes about 1 hr, and the reinstalls of fixes/patches about another 30 minutes.

How can I retrieve my Windows 2000/XP/2003 or Office 2000/XP CD Key?\n\nSometimes you might need to retrieve the CD Key used to install Windows in order to find out if it's legally purchased, or just for safe keeping. I usually find myself in that position whenever I'm at a client's location, trying to see if the copy of Windows 2000 he's using is indeed legally registered.\n\nLuckily for us, some programs exist that can help you do just that - retrieve license information from the registry, and allow you to copy it for safekeeping or for documentation purposes.\n\nMagical Jelly Bean Keyfinder\n\nThis is a small freeware utility that retrieves your Product Key (cd key) used to install windows from your registry. It has the options to copy the key to clipboard, save it to a text file, or print it for safekeeping. It works on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Office 97, and Office XP.\n\nThis version (v1.41) is a quick update to make it work with Windows Server 2003.\n\nYou can download it from \n\nhttp://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml\n\nNote: This tool does not seem to be able retrieve the Office 2003 CD Key. However, a new version of this tool - v1.5B3 - does have the capability of seeing the Office 2003 CD Key, and also enables you to directly change the existing CD Key to another one.\n\nYou can download v1.5B3 from http://www.magicaljellybean.com/beta/kf15b3.zip\n\nNote that this tool is NOT a cracking tool, and it does NOT generate a serial for you. All it does is to extract your existing CD Key.\n\nCD Key Reader\n\nCD Key Reader is another small tool that can find and display registration information for Microsoft tools and software that is installed on your computer (i.e. Windows, Office and so on).\n\nYou can download it from\n\nhttp://www.skaro.net/cd-keyreader\n\nBTW, there are quite a few other tools that do the same trick. If you know of a good one please let me know.

You can't - not legally anyway.  Plus if you could get your hands on a copy of windows professional that you did not own - it would be shut down quickly by windows new authentication service.  Bottom line - go buy it.

By license your PC must have that information on the outside of the case. Either on the back or underneath.\n\nThis should either be the Gateway serial key or your Microsoft authentication sticker.\n\nIf you have already reformatted then the alternative is no longer possible.\nIf the hard drive has not been reformatted then you could use Magic JellyBean to find your product serial key. This is legal for personal use and not for stealing keys. This program will not create new keys. It only finds the key already on your PC.

double check what is written on the paper that came from Microsoft.  capital letter b's can look like the number 8, so make sure you read it carefully.  If it still doesn't work, then you need to get back to the place you purchased it.\n\nIf its not a closed package with a proper microsoft certificate and product key and you paid for it, someone gave you a stolen copy of Office.  If you downloaded it somewhere with a key, then thats illegal and you shouldn't complain.
