A. The installation key is stored in the Windows 98 registry and canbe checked as follows:
Start the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion
Double click the ProductKey name and copy
Click OK
Close the registry editor
You can also get the key by opening the system properties dialog (Win-Break,Alt + Open My Computer). It appears under the "Registered To"details.
