XP Pro - WGA Purchase Program

Question:Hi,


I purchased Windows XP Professional a few weeks back through the online WGA Purchase Tool.  Basically, I found out I had a non-legit copy of windows, and when I went to update, it said would I like to purchase a new Legit CD Key.  So I said yes, and purchased everything and wrote down the key for later use.   I recieved the Windows Genunie Advantage Kit for Windows XP Professional yesterday and decided to do a new clean install of the OS with the CD that came with the kit.  

To my surprise, the key I originally wrote down when I purchased the XP license online did not work with the new installation.  Maybe I wrote it down wrong?  But inside my Kit was no license keys or phone numbers to call if I had problems installing.  

I figured if there was a number to call I could just read off some of the numbers on the bar codes on the Microsoft Certificate of Authenticity but absolutely no support numbers... :-(

What do i do now?

There is a list of the various XP Newsgroups down the left-hand column there.

You will get the assistance that you need there.

These are Vista Forums.
