Sure. I have winzip that can create fragments of big file. I have done
it for years and I supply on piratebay, rapidfiles and others.

Precisely. Distributing the software isn't illegal (yes I did mean to
say LEGAL as per KEN) as per MVP Ken and I am prepared to do just that
unless there is a demand for serial numbers then that too can be
arranged!

How's your mummy these days? Is she still in the old profession known

What if the owner of the key needs to reinstall within 120 days? ... and/or
WGA kicks in on both computers at the same time?

The OP is right, she has a key and wants to use it, the problem seems that
the CD used to reinstall didn't match the type of key she has (OEM, Retail,
Home, Pro).

There is always a telephone method to activate your Windows. Have you not
done this? This has been around for the past 10 years since Windows XP was
first release in 2001. You also need to consider the probability of this
happening.

But the real question here is why the OP should use someone else's key when
she's already have one and she only needs the type of media that matches
her key (Home OEM or Retail, or Pro OEM or Retail)?
