Author Actionpack - CD key to what CD? MS Actionpack subscription
Lerner

2004-10-23, 3:56 am

This isn't really on topic, but I'm hoping that someone here is has a MS
Actionpack subscription and can help me...

I've got two of the black envelopes from the subscription here that
Microsoft stuck the CD keys onto the back before shipping to me. The
envelopes don't have any software names on them, and I've packed the CD's
into another place for storage... Now I don't know what CD's these keys are
for.

The back of each envelope has a yellow CD key sticker, plus a (I assume)
white part number sticker. The two part numbers I have are "X10-17366" and
"X09-59757". I can give part of the CD key if that would be helpful.

"Why don't I contact Microsoft" I hear you ask? I have... After a few
messages back and forth they don't understand what I'm asking for... They
even tried to tell me that the two numbers I sent them were CD keys for
Windows XP... I don't know how considering how short the numbers are.

I could try and match all the enveloped to CD's that I have, but a number of
these CD's don't even have CD keys, or don't have the stickers stuck on the
envelope, so it wouldn't be helpful.

....so... Is it possible to figure out which envelope or CD key goes to which
product?

Have these CD's been installed??
If so, go to the downloads section of www.belarc.com and download and run the free Belarc Advisor.
It will create a page listing all of the software on your machine and the CD keys used to install
it.

Plus a whole lot more.
