    i just brought a windows XP home edition for Philippines, and i would like to know if the software i bought is genuine or the cd-key has never been used.

    i havent used the cd-key yet (saving it for a future computer). i just want to know because the person who sold it to me looks suspicious because he sold it to me half the price.

    thanks!

    Hello nookz,

     

    The only way we can determine if the key is valid or invalid is for you to install it on a machine and attempt validation.  Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
