In ,
DMC2U had this to say: My reply is at the bottom of your sent message: I have a copy of Windows 98 SE but have lost the CD Key I've heard there is a way of getting the key from the cd itself...does anyone know how to do this ? I don't know of any way to get it from the CD but if you can still boot to Windows (even if you can if you're savvy enough they tell me) then you can try this: ABC ~ All 'Bout Computers, Vol. 15: Retrieving a Lost Windows ...: http://personal-computer-tutor.com/abc2/v15/vic15.htm Also, your key might very well be on the side of your computer on a green sticker as is OFTEN the case.

The key is not stored on the CD in any form nor in any version of Windows.
