![]() Here 1 notes a volume install media (no install key to be entered), 2 (*2), 5 and 6 make install ask for a 10 digit number, while 9 marks an OEM version using a 20 digit key. There seems also to be another 11 digit key, coded as 4-7, much like the fist, but now the first group defines if it's meant as a full install ( 0401) or an update ( 0402) What Version will be CheckedĪ further step would be to lookup SETUPPP.inf which should have an entry ProductType=n. OEM versions (starting with 95B) had a 5-3-7-5 format withĥ digits as dddyy marking the day and year the Version got producedħ digits again checked as digit sum modulo 7, but the frist two now must be zeroĥ digits as kind of serial number, this time the first may not be zero 10 Digit Keyįor one there is the basic 10 digit number in 3-7 format, where the first group (3) are not checked, while the second (7) has to have a digit sum modulo 7 (*1) 20 Digit Key I did find some information about Win95 product/activation keys to be entered when installing from CD. and I may have found only a partial answer when looking through my notes. CD-key that must be entered at install time, although for CD-based products the product ID is usually determined by the product key ![]() Note: In Microsoft's terminology, a product ID is a sort of serial number that should not be confused with the product key a.k.a. What did Microsoft customize, if anything, on different installation disk sets, either at time of manufacture individually or across different batches / production runs, or through having the installer itself modify the disk contents? The first two of these are both things that I would expect to result from the modifications by "Chance.A", but the string difference especially makes me suspect that the disks' contents were different even without the involvement of "Chance.A". ![]()
