Windows 98 SE - Product key
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to retrieve the Product key from a
Windows 98 SE installation CD? It is not loaded on the computer. Is it possible to get the Product key from the disk itself? Thanks for any info

No. The CD does not contain a Product key.

Thanks Alan.
I lost the case and hoped to get the Product key directly off the disk. Can't have everything, I guess!
