I got it figured out. I had to install a parallel system to a different directory. I then used the Magic Jelly Bean beta program. It allows you to point it at a different installation on the same drive and extract the product id!!!!

After you get the system running with the alternate product ID, can't you do just a system state restore with your backup software? It's often a separate option. That should overwrite the temp key with your "real" key. Then, of course, backup your key with magic jellybean for the "next time" :-) Eric Eskam =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The contents of this message are mine personally and do not reflect any position of the U.S. Government "The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it." - P.
