The Certification of Authenticity is the product code

In OEM versions of Windows 95 it is usually printed right on the
Certificate of Authenticity. Look again - carefully.

>Robert, if the letters OEM appear in the product code it

means that the operating system was installed by the
original computer manufacturer. You must call that
manufacturer to get the entire product code. (That is, if
you originally registered it with them in your name.) They
will ask you several questions to verify the authenticity
of your ownership before they can access your specific
code.
