Windows Key

Is it possible to change the Windows' key without doing a re-install? I
orderded another copy of Windows MCE2005 for a 2nd media PC I'm building and
used my original key for the installation. I'm in the process of customizing
it, and really don't want to start from scratch. Thanks in advance.

According to the Magic Jellybean site, the author uses the MS provided
scripts in his executable. So I decided to use it. Thanks for the info.
