How can I obtain a lost product key for Win2k Professional

[Rudiepoo1]

I've lost my product key for Windows 2000 professional which I'm trying to upgrade to. Anyone aware of possible options I might have or can try to obtain this. Thanks

Are you kidding me, MS charges for tech support, I was going to try and submit an emial to tech support but they ask for the product key and of course I don't have that.

so are you currently running win2k on your machine? or are you trying to upgrade to win2k and youve lost your product key? if you are upgrading to win2k im sure you still have your receipt right? then maybe go back to the store with your cd and recept and ask one of the tech.

PM me if you need a serial..

If i'm convinced you are legit.. I will let you use the one I have so you dont have to pay M$ 30 bucks for a 10cent cd

Just dont register it ....

awsheat: not a wise move man, what if this guy is pulling your leg and your version is legit, youll end up being screwed.

Great links there smp! I am going to have to try this with my 2K disk. I keep the disk in a cd wallet and can never seem to remember where I put the dang jacket with the cd key on it.

thats where permanent marker come in handy

just write serial on disc and no jacket required
