I think I have solved this.
The paper product key on the side of the Dell Optiplex indicates "Windows XP
Professional 1 - 2CPU" at the top and I think that is what it came with.
But at the time, a few years ago our companies policy was not to upgrade to
Windows XP - it was too new. So I think Windows 2000 Professional (and now
with SP4) was installed on top of this (a downgrade).

So I don't know the Product Key.
