RomanOn the download page for XP Embedded SP2 it states under the instructions that the product key is on the media:'6. If you have not yet installed the tools or database, you will need an evaluation product key in order to install. You can find an evaluation product key in the file productkey.txt in the Disk 1 or Disk 2 folder in the installation location.' Of course we highly encourage you to evaluate Windows Embedded Standard 2009 instead- it is also based on teh XP code-base, but will be supported a lot longer than XP Embedded product line will be.Lynda.
