No, it's not on the CD. All retail WinME CDs are the same, it's only the product keys that are different. It uses an algorithm sort of thing when the product key is entered during installation.

If Windows came preinstalled on the computer, there's a chance the product key is on a sticker on the computer case.

Hi, I don't know about ME but it's probably the same. 98 numbers all work on all disks. Find a buddy that has a 98 number and try his. Always works with 98. Good Luck, Jim

Alternative

try visiting crack sites. I realise these are technically illegal, but microsoft cant sue you when you have a genuine original windows disk!

Im not going to post one here in case i get in twouble. Also dont go using the site for anything else. Cracking software you OWN is one thing. cracking someone elses is and always will be against the law.

Don't go visiting crack sites protected. You WILL be sorry.

They can sue you if you didn't have a legally obtained key.

Any cracking is illegal. whether you own it or not.

I've got two ME discs a older one near when it first came out,and a newer one. Tried installing ME from the newer disc, on a machine using the older ME number. Because I missed placed the newer ones stinking product key, and it keep coming up invailed key. Finally found the original newer key "accidently stuffed it in with the 98SE book that comes with it. ARRGGG". So their something different their between the two not the same as 98 or 98 SE were you can use any 98 key on 98 or any 98SE key on 98SE.
