CD Key is not valid. Make sure you entered CD key correctly. (Numerous times without success) Can't get MS phone support , need to enter the product ID. What is the Product ID? I see Product Key, but no product ID on upgrade packaging. Unusable product! Could I be the only one stuck in this mess?

(If you have an OEM installation, and haven't since reinstalled the OS, the revealed Product Key is that of the drive image used at the factory and not _your_ specific Product Key; therefore, it cannot be used for a re-installation and it may not activate.)

Yet another product key issue.
After typing in this number, I'm always getting: "This is an invalid CD-ROM key number. Please check the number located on your CD key sticker". Further to this, I can't get help from Microsoft Online Support because I don't have the product number required to begin processing my request.

We have the proper product key codes as well but we can't use the disk. My guess is the disk has been used so many times that in handling it someone cracked it.

If so, I'm unaware of any "product keys" for them. product keys are used at the time of installation only. usually, even with mac software from adobe and microsoft for instance, you have to enter an alpha-numeric product key (something like 9VB3-CG5M-QT2B- etc..) in order to install the software from a CD.
