Hi Kelly,
The sample that Terry provides works with Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003 and
Vista.
In Windows 95, 98 and Me, Windows product key is stored in plain text in
the Registry and in the file system.dat. It resides in the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows\Cur rentVersion" registry
branch. For Windows 95, the registry key is "ProductID" and for Windows 98
and Me, the registry key is "ProductKey". So, for these platforms, you
should change the registry branch and key in the function to get the value
of the product key.
As for the OS platform, you could use Enviroment.OSVersion.Platform to
determine what type of the platform the application is run on.
Hope this helps.
If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.
Sincerely,
Linda Liu

Note: The MSDN Managed Newsgroup support offering is for non-urgent issues
where an initial response from the community or a Microsoft Support
Engineer within 1 business day is acceptable. Please note that each follow
up response may take approximately 2 business days as the support
professional working with you may need further investigation to reach the
most efficient resolution. The offering is not appropriate for situations
that require urgent, real-time or phone-based interactions or complex
project analysis and dump analysis issues. Issues of this nature are best
handled working with a dedicated Microsoft Support Engineer by contacting
