Lost Product Key

hydra174 · 05-10-2008, 09:19 PM

I have the same problem I have my 98 Upgrade cd but have not used it in along time and I can't find it. Is there a way I can read it in DOS?

i don't beleive there is a dos version of jellybean.

also, jellybean can only reveal the install key on a computer that has a windows installed to it. if win98 is not installed on the computer you're working on, then jellybean can not help you.

the cd key is NOT on the cd anywhere, so there's no way to read it off of there, you MUST have a windows computer that was installed with your win98 upgrade cd to obtain the key for it.

sorry we can't help more. :(

Hi Hydra,

The Microsoft 98 Upgrade and Install disk only runs in DOS. Can be started from windows, but still runs under DOS. If you can boot to DOS just navigate to the CD drive and type SETUP, enter, or type X:\SETUP if you know the CD's letter (X=the letter).

Good Luck, Jim
