This isn't as dodgy as it sounds - honest !

I need some software to change the key on Windows XP Home edition machine.

I have an image for a machine, and wish to change the key once the image is installed to make it legal.

Anyone know of any - most seem to be for XP Pro.

Just to clarify. We buy 350 machines a year, and each comes with a copy of XP Home with them. We however have a XP Pro campus agreement - so we don't use it.
Once the PCs are out of warrenty, we give them away to staff for use at home.
Obviously we don't want to install every PC so have made an image (using one Home key) - and need to change it one we have loaded the image, to the key stuck to the case.

Hope this makes sense.
 
Sysprep would probably be a better option - lets you regenerate SIDs, input keys with the mini-setup, language options, time-zones, and even redetect hardware if necessary. Most of it can be automated too.
