I have my cd here and someone with an older machine wanted me to install it for them since they have windows millenium. Its been so long since ive installed a copy of win2k and dont remember if a key is required. somebody out there has got to remember right?

Yes. It's Microsoft, of course it needs a CD key. If Windows 95 and NT4 needed them 2000 sure would.

depends on how you got the disc. There are certain license deals that included cd's that don't ask for keys. I have a few windows discs that don't ask for them. (I just need buy a license to use them).
