    Refurbished Winxp-Key-How to know if secure?

    I have bought a winxp-sp3-key plus copy of CD from a computershop. he said its legal. how can i be sure thats secure? After first installation and activation?
    If the ex-owner is using the key on a different pc then i am lost right? Thanks

    If windows does not accept it, go get your money back.

    Is winxp and win7 the same validation?
    What has validation to do with not accepted key? That is way before validation, during installation.

    No, there is validation when you first hit the internet usually.
    It is called activation at that time.
