I was able to download the validation tool at work, and email it to myself at home and run it. Here is the information that I received:

One thing I noticed, the portion of the Key that is shown, is not part of the key I had used.
I made a complete PC backup a couple of days ago, with Vistas Backup software, and have it stored on an external HD. If I am able to reinstall XP MCE, and then successfully install Vista Ultimate, will I be able to use the information from the Backup to restore everything I may have lost?
