If you don't have a CD, and you don't have a sticker on the side of your computer, then you'll have to call. Or turn to other means... *cough*

If you didnt get a CD, or a Windows Authentication Sticker on the side of the PC, the the delaer is selling Pirated copies of Windows and you have no recourse if something goes wrong.
I'd get hold of the dealer quick and demand a CD, with authentication code, or proof that the copy IS legal.
You will need it if you ever need to contact Microsoft, or if you want to upgrade the software.
