I have already pruchased microsaft windows 2000 for my
old computer. That computer crashed after 10 years of
use, and I now have a new computer. I am trying to
download windows 2000, but I must have thrown out the
authenticity code a long time ago. The program will not
let me go any further without this code. Is there any
way I can bypass this or get a new code? Please email me
a response.

The Windows 25-character Product Key (required to perform the
installation) is stored on the CD packaging on a bright orange sticker
that says "Do not lose this number."

To recover a lost Product Key:

If your system still runs, you should be able to use Belarc
Advisor from http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html to find the
Product Key.

If it was a retail license and you have proof of purchase:

How to Replace Lost, Broken, or Missing Microsoft Software or Hardware

If it was an OEM license, you cannot legitimately transfer it to a
new computer, anyway.
