Windows 2000 CD-Key Problem

[xZeusx]

I have the windows 2000 Server software that I purchased, but i can't seem to find the CD key. What is the best way to go about fixing this problem? Any suggestions would be nice.

Thanks in advance.

Contact the place/person you purchased it from or contact Microsoft.

Some versions of windows had the CDKey in the registry. I think they fixed that in 2000 though.

Basicly, because MS sells you the license, and not the media (well, you get the media too) for Win2k, it's useless without a CDKey. You *might* be able to call up MS and get a new key issued, but that would probably require your old CD and a proof of purchase. There would be info on MS's site about that process, if it exists.

Call up MS and they will give you a new key (I've done it twice). They ask you to describe what the CD looks like, and then they give you a new one.
