unknown product key

trying to load window professional 2000 operating system.
I have the cd but have lost the envelope with the product
key information on it. Need to re-install software. How
can I locate the product key?

The actual product key needed to reinstall Windows 2000 cannot be retrieved
from an installed system. KB article 326246 How to Replace Lost, Broken,
or Missing Microsoft Software or Hardware
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=326246) has the following information
