How do I verify the correct XP CD license for multiple computers?

I have several computers and have mixed up which XP CD goes with which
computer. I need to verify the license in the computer matches the CD. How do
i do this?

The specific CD is not as relevant as the type of CD.
As for the Product Key used on each computer:

Hey, thanks this is exactly what i needed. The only problem now is the
CD/license code being displyed by the utility does not match the sticker on
the machine. I built the machine so its my fault. I don't know if this can be
currupted by a virus or not but i don't have any CD with the license code
being displayed.

A Windows XP CD does not contain the Product Key.
You'll need to find the Windows XP CD that came with the
computer originally, then use it and the proper Product Key
that is affixed to the computer.
