The Product ID, which is generated from the the CD Key, seems to be a
one-way hash, which means you can't determine which CD Key was used from
the PID.

However, it's not that hard to remove the PID so that you can reenter
the CD Key:

Great!! I've seen the question several times in several newsgroups and
could not find the link on your siute for some reason (I probably was
not very awake).
I remembered the fiels and the paths, but it so much easier to provide
your link :)
