Windows 2000 Product/Key Changer - Please advise

Hello All,

We have over a dozen older machines we want to give away to company employees. Before doing so we want to re-install the original operating system hich is Windows 2000. We planned on doing this by using the SMS OS Deployment feature pack. However, we want to enter in the product key that is on the side of each of the dell pc's so that each pc we give out has its valid product key. Is there a way to change the product key once it has been installed?

If not then we will have to do each pc manually one by one.

Please advise.

You can use keyfinder from here:

They will allow you to change the key if you run it and then click on "Options"

Hoipe this helps!

Thanks guys but all the utilities you gave me do not work for windows 2000. The magicjellybean one seemed mostpromising but it greays out the option to change it and I read on the faq that windows 2000 is not supported.

Any other ideas for changing the product key code in windows 2000?
