Hello guys and gals i have ran across several of my older system windows Cd's but cant locate the original cases is there a way to retrieve the CD key's from the disk its self so i can write them down on there new cases ??:icon_scra any help would be appreciated .Thanks.

Hya FB , sorry but i don't think they are even "on" the disc to begin with.

You would have to do some searching it seems.

Hey FB3,

Hope you are doing well. I realize that this doesn't help you find the CD Keys, but as a general rule, I write the key onto the CD with a Sharpie just in case this happens.

Here is what I could find online, but since you reformatted, this may not be helpful.

This one has a great tip as well.
