2. Note: The manual techniques used to locate the product key for operating systems like Windows 95 and Windows 98 do not work for Windows Vista. That method will only locate the product ID number, not the actual product key used for installation. Luckily, a number of free programs exist to help find product keys.
3. Choose a free product key finder program that supports Windows Vista.
   Note: Any product key finder that locates Windows Vista product keys will locate the product keys for any edition you may have including Windows Vista Ultimate, Home Premium, Home Basic, Business, and Enterprise.
   
4. Download and run the key finder program. Follow any instructions provided by the software.
   
5. The numbers and letters displayed by the program represent the Windows Vista product key. The product key should be formatted like xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx - five sets of five letters and numbers.
   
6. Write this key code down exactly as the program displays it to you for use when reinstalling Windows Vista.
   Note: If even one character is written down incorrectly, the installation of Windows Vista that you attempt with this product key will fail. Be sure to transcribe the key exactly.

You can only get a valid product key with an original installation CD of Window Operating System.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/get/default.aspx

get microsoft office blue edition, it requires no code, used by microsoft employees, freely available on the web through torrents.

There could well be a sticker on the back of your laptop with the product code on for windows vista. After you have this Vista will need to be activated within 30 days of installing it.

that code says the Microsoft has that key recorded as already being in use.

You can't use a fraudlent key code for windows Vista.

Vista constantly sends feedback to Microsoft's servers about your hardware configuration. When it detects a complete change of hardware it makes you reverify your persoanl information. If it finds that two different hardware configurations or persons are trying to access the same ke code, it will shut off access to the OS.

Sorry, but you can't be cheap this time ;)
