Lost CD key code for ME, CAN ANYONE HELP?

I have a Dell PC and it crashed. I have the CD dell sent with it but I can't find the jacket with the CD Key code. Does anyone know how to get it? I found one software but they want $118.00 for it. I can buy a upgrade cheaper than that. Thanks for your help

    Launch REGEDIT by selecting Start/Run, typing REGEDIT in the text box and pressing Enter.

    · Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, click on the + and scroll down to Software.

    · Find the Microsoft listing click on it, and look for the directory that contains software you need to reinstall.

    · Double-click the Product ID listing and select the middle two number strings. For example, in the string 53491-460-1656111-49145, you'd select 460-1656111. (for Office 97) One more thing, add a 1 to the first 3 numbers, 4601-1656111, as the product ID has 11 numbers. Hope this works for you!

    To find the Windows CD Key: find Windows, click the "current version" with the + sign, don't click the +sign, click on the words "current version". The product ID and the product key will appear. It's all the numbers and letters that you see.

    · Highlight, Press Control C to copy the CD key to the clipboard, then paste it someplace where you can reuse it. Some experts advise compiling all your keys to a text document, then printing it out for safekeeping.

    If your PC is a Dell, they normally have a multicolor sticker (about 2" by 1/2") on the PC itself that has the Key Code listed on it.
