justask - The keys are NOT matched to each individual cd. The only restrictions are on the versions. It's is standard 98 then it has to be a 98 key, if it's 98 upgrade then it has to be an upgrade key, if it's 98se then it has to be a 98se key.
I've used a single copy of each type of windows to install on multiple machines for years and never had a single issue. Even now XP keys are not matched to installation cd's....if they did that with 98 why would they stop with XP? That is the reason they started using product activation when XP was released.
Every single cd would have to be unique in order to match the key to the cd. It would be too expensive and slow for MS to do that. When they create the installation media they have one final image they use to make millions of copies.
