Windows 2000 CD-key prompt

[JustinC7]

I'm building a PC for a friend of mine, which will be a PIII 1.GHz so XP will probably run a little sluggish, so I think that Win2K would be better.
But he wants a legal copy of Win2K, and I do have a Win2K license/cd key which is legal, but the only problem is that my Win2K CD has the CD Key request prompt bypassed.

Does anyone know how to make it ask you for the CD Key?
Or where I can get a version of Win2K that will ask you for the CD KEY?

setupp.ini has the last three digits of that product id or whatever changed to 270.

it sorta generates you a random corporate key when it installs. I really dont care either way about licensing, but you can always change it back.

^Yeah, but Windows 2000 will run faster on a PC of that speed.
Windwows XP having a larger kernel than 2K is the main reason.
