   No, there are two of us in the Universe who don't know how...   
      
   I have two laptops. In my situation, I do have the legal CD's and the Keys   
   to the OS's. But if I did not have the CD's and the Keys, or if I lost or   
   misplaced them, I would not know how to get them except through some of the   
   websites  that I have seen here on the postings. I have not tried them but I   
   guess some of those threads lead to a way to find the right Key number..
