Default produkey and dead disk

I have a dead windows xp computer, it doesn't boot safely neither safe mode
(command prompt non tested)

starting with linux live I was able to recover those few files changed
since this night backup so on this side no problem

Now I should reinstall but the serial number stick is not any more on the
case, there is just the sign of the glue :/

how can I recover the serial no?

I know that I should try nirsoft produkey, connecting the dead disk to a
working computer, but the disk is/was part of a raid 1 system and I'm not
sure it will work, so: which files shall I get from the dead disk to put on
a usb stick and later use this stick into a working pc running produley?

TIA

produkey.exe /regfile "F:\WINNT\system32\config\software"

It looks like it is accessing the SOFTWARE registry file.
The Nirsoft documentation page offers that much of a hint.
