Windows XP Pro 64bit

I installed Windows XP Pro 64bit on my computer, thinking that I had a registration key for it, but it turns out I don't. Will a XP Home key work for it too?

I don't believe it will work.

You will need a XP 64bit key.

Same for XP Home, XP Pro, and all Vista versions. At least as far as activation of the OS with MS is concerned.

I know windows xp home cdkey don't work on xp pro or vice versa. Most likely you need a 64bit key.
