Depends what you mean by the "wrong" product key. If you enter a random key that doesn't belong to you, it will probably be rejected. If you just swap the keys around between the computers, you should be OK.

So if I had 3 licenses on Monday ordered 2 machines on Tuesday the ordered a 4th license on Wednesday, and ordered 2 more machines on Thursday but used a Monday license on the Thursday machine and a Wednesday license on a Tuesday machine but need to reformat a Thursday machine with a Wednesday license because I used a Monday license would the Friday machine require all new license or could I just use a left over Monday license as long as I reformatted a Tuesday machine with the Thursday lisence?

Reading the article I read;
"Fittingly enough, the contest is called "They Ate WHAT?"
Even stranger. The $1,500 first place winner was a Plano, Texas, animal hospital that treated an exotic frog that ate more than 30 small ornamental rocks from its cage."
I got as far as the word in BOLD and thought, how the elephant did it eat a piano  then continued to read

There are some pretty significant fires going on here today. The problem is there is only one person in the office (of 2 total) that have the knowledge base and skill set to fix it.
The entire portion of that system is a black box to me. I never learned qbx, and am wildly innefficient with random access file structures. The entire thing, even if it were in a language that I know, is a crazy spiderweb so deep that even the authors forget the command line stuff and options.
This is part of why I was hired back (if you haven't read before). To update the older stuff, and create better tooling for us. We've been making great progress, but there are 2 main problems. While we have a database in that environment, it's only being used for reporting... so the flat file structure is still being maintained as well. Also, the management has been getting very excited about the things I can do, so the push has shifted to new software for clients as well as ourselves. The problem with that is that, because we haven't updated, we still have to support the legacy stuff. So it takes a lot of extra work, and the resulting software isn't as clean as I'd like.
I think today is going to be a good reminder of what they want from me. I believe that this will be an opportunity to refocus our efforts on updating that system first and phasing out of the legacy system.
Today is still frustrating for me though. there is a definite sense of panic, and all I can do is watch. I'm absolutely helpless. I'm just here for moral support.
-edit-
My next project (the tablet one) is replacing most, if not all, of the system we are having problems with today

RE: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4895351/Re-Scottish-independence.aspx[^]
I stand by my observation: that British Native Fare isn't considered suitable (i.e., humane) for inclusion in pet food.
As for all the talk about what "Mericans" eat: If any of you ever checked the place out, we're absolutely flooded with ethnic fare from all regions. The concept, well established and popular, of TexMex puts to bed that ill-considered remark that the other "Americas" are ignored. On the contrary, it's embraced.
Ya' see - we love tasty food. For that reason, no one in their right mind would eat that traditional ooze-heaps that pass for food. Fortunately for you there's gin to swig and thereby disable all senses.
The curse of Bieber upon you as it is already evident upon your pallet !
* a word about 'ketchup': I know the European psyche . . . if it had a French-style spelling it you'd line upt to pray premium prices because it would considered a gourmet dressing.

You know not of what you speak: apart from diners (love 'em), American food, of any ethnicity is over priced sludge; unworthy of the so-called 'chefs' that prepare it.
Food in London, on the other hand, whilst pricey, is, for the most part, bloody good; even ethnic British fayre: there are some marvelous restaurants that include British food on the menu and it is often (especially gastro-pubs) top-notch.
Tell you what, next time we both happen to be in London, I'll take you to a fooderie that will blow your socks off.

You have just stated your qualifications as a connoisseur. Or more specifically, permanently excluded yourself from the title.
As for overpriced - only because you apparently frequented the tourist traps. The normal neighborhood restaurants are a good feeding for a good price.

Rubbish: diner food is the only honest food here (apart form, perhaps, some of the gourmet food trucks).

Don't silly: you might frequent tourist traps, which is, presumably, what has colored your rather lop-sided view of cuisine, but I don't.

Oh, you mean Red Lobster and Olive Garden: sorry, I didn't realize that was your benchmark.
