Not technically a tech issue

But I´m looking for a Windows 2000 pro license code for a spanish version of Windows. Not an illegal version (have plenty of English licenses but the code doesn´t work) can anyone help?

Can't you install the english version and add the Spanish language afterwords?

 

[BirchyBoy]

how would you do that? you can´t just change the regional settings in W2k as this doesn´t change the actual language. and if you install the spanish version over the english version as it still requires a code..

or am I missing something?

Use the MUI:

Is the Spanish OS version installed already? if it is and you have lost it, and you are looking for the key. Use this

it's an app that will give you the key code already installed.

This was taken from a Microsoft help file....

To install additional languages

Open Regional Options in Control Panel.
On the General tab, under Language settings for the system, select the check box next to the language group you want to install.
Notes

You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may also prevent you from completing this procedure.
To open a Control Panel item, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click the appropriate icon.
To complete the installation of language groups, you must insert the Windows 2000 CD-ROM or have access to the system files from the network. Once the languages are installed, Windows 2000 prompts you to restart the computer.
With multiple languages installed on your computer, you can compose documents that contain more than one language. Any recipients of multilingual documents must also have the same languages installed on their computers to read or edit the documents.
