I am still missing one key for a third system. If it doesn't matter what key I use then I am all set for all three systems. If it does I will have to try both keys to see which one works for which install. I am not sure but, wrong key might screw up another machines update. Let me get a key program installed on the Toshiba and see if it shows the upgrade key or not. Will get back to you. KenW OK, Thanks. I will have to wait until tomorrow as it's way past my bed time. Thanks again Ken. regards. Al. I used this program, http://www.magicaljellybean.com/ and it found the anytime upgrade key, only. I still think you would have to know what key you used for the original install, as the upgrade key is probably tied to the install key. KenW That's what I was worried about. I might just have to try it and see what happens. I do have a clone of every system I have so it would only cost me time. You said you have 3 systems running Ultimate from Anytime Upgrade, if the two other systems are working you could run the key finder program on those and don't use those keys on the system you have to rebuild. BTW, the way I understand your first post, the key Belarc reported is the key for Ultimate but you tried to use it with Home Premium which of course would not work. What I would do, is install Home Premium without entering a key (and without activating it) and try to upgrade it immediately with the Anytime Upgrade file this time using the key reported by Belarc and see if it works.
