Hi there!,

just to let you know that key finder does not work properly as it came back with a totally differnt key that i have on my sticker,

looks more like a keygen to me!

Large computer manufacturers do not use the sticker COA key to install XP, they use a single OEM key for preinstalled versions.

Their license from Microsoft permits this as no activation is required. The COA sticker on the side of the case is for instances when the end-user reinstalls the operating system with the supplied media.

Jelly bean is not a keygen. You are flat wrong.

This may be the manufacturer's factory installed product key rather than yours".
