generic product key

I have lost the product key, for my copy of WIN98 is
there anyway to get a generic one, or does anyone have one?

Hi Wetcow,

Provided you still have Windows running (Normal or Safe Mode)
run regedit.exe and look at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\
Win98/WinME look for ProductKey in the right pane.

Or if you are not comfortable searching the registry and Windows is running:
Go to VBScript Tools by Bill James and download: "Windows 9x ProductKey
Saver"

Here's a method of finding the Win95/98/Me Product Key from DOS
At the command prompt, A: or C: (command prompt only) type the following
*exactly*:

C:\Windows\command\Find /I "ProductKey" c:\windows\system.dat
