I agree with Wanderer. A program that you are installing will have no idea what your Windows Product Key 'should' be.
Sorry, I do not check for private messages

To me it sounds like he wants to check his current cd-key and change it to the one that came with his windows cd, which that program can do.

Well...
The Jelly Bean will find it.
Changing it is another matter.
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Jelly Bean will allow you to change key but it may cause a re-activation of XP, just visit Windows Update afterwards and it will inform wether or not it is a VALID key.

Jelly bean will not change the key. It simply finds it. The link I posted tells you how to change it.
