While one needed a tweak in Windows XP to change the product key, in Windows Vista it's fairly simple to change the product key.

Microsoft now made a doorway for you to change the product key within the system properties window.
There are two way's to change the product key in Vista now.

To do so goto START and type slui 0x03 and hit ENTER. (see figure 1)
