hi, i was wondering if theres any such software that you can put your xp key into and it tells you weather it works or not, better yet for what type of xp it works for? Does any one know any software that can do any such thing?

The only problem with that, is it only checks the local computers key. I too would be interested in a way to validate keys. I have a bunch of XP keys laying around, and I have no idea which are OEM, retail, Home/Pro, etc.
