I had to redo my computer and when i reinstall windows it is say that my
key code isnt working. When I called they said I would have to purchase
another software kit. Is there anywhere that I can go and get a code
for free??

They sticker with the code is on the left side of your computer, or
bottom of your laptop, if you purchased a legit windows xp installation.
 
Also check that you entered the correct code, do not confuse the letter O
with the number zero, also the number 8 and the letter B.
I don't know who you called but the word "Kit" is not correct when referring
to a replacement Windows CD.

You mean they can't put the sticker on the right side, front, top or back?

What are the *exact* words of the error message? Until we know that,
we're guessing about possible solutions.

You need to examine the Product Key very carefully. It's awfully
easy to mistake a "B" for an "8," a "G" for a "6," an "S" for a "5," or
a "Q" for a "0" or "O." Fortunately, Microsoft had the good sense to
leave the "1's," "I's," "O's," and "0's" out of the equation. Also, be
sure that your <CapsLock> is _off_ while entering the Product Key --
this isn't supposed to make a difference, but I've seen it do so, on
rare occasions.

Called who, precisely? There should be absolutely no need to purchase
a new license, assuming that you had a legitimate license to start with.

Not legitimately.
