   As long as the key is the same one that had been on the COA, you should   
   be fine; the key is all that matters. Then again, if it's a retail   
   license that you wish to sell, the COA would be nice for the next owner   
   to have. Without it, he or she would need to trust that your XP is   
   legitimate. Personally, I wouldn't buy such a system.

   You would need to contact the OEM that sold it to you. Somehow, I doubt   
   it.   
      
   Why didn't they affix the COA to your PC case where it belongs? What   
   make is your PC?
