Key finders like that won't help the OP. The key finder will only show

an OEM machine is always the one on the COA sticker.

To the OP: With OEM machines one usually doesn't need the Product Key
unless
one forgets to create restore disks or has otherwise lost the OEM
installation media. Is that your situation? In that case, the best
solution
is to contact the OEM and get replacement restore disks. This usually
is
quite inexpensive.

Hi Malke,

I had a OEM product key number for a version of Vista I had before and
this program posted by Chinga69 above showed the correct product key
number, and not the same product ID number shown under System in Vista.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
