Received this note from MS on pre-pided CRM Volume License Keys! In my case I had already copied all instalaltion media over to the new hardware from an old product download. Then I went searcing for my license key to find out its pre-pidded in the Volume Licensing .iso file still on the MS site. To get to the license key you have to break/open the .iso file. I used WinCDemu loaded on another machine to mount the .iso then browsed the results.
Here is the txt frm Microsoft directly.
License Keys
New to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, for media obtained under Volume Licensing programs, license keys are embedded on the media (Media is ‘Pre-pidded*’) and will no longer need to be entered upon installation. If you have downloaded a Trial or time limited version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and later purchase Volume License media and do not wish to re-install, you may input the license key from your purchased media within the Microsoft Dynamics CRM License Manager.The License Key may be located by searching the installation files contained on the media for the \server\i386\license.txt or \server\amd64\license.txt file, depending on whether you are installing in a 32 or 64 bit environment).
No License Keys posted to MVLS/VLSC
IMPORTANT! Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 license keys will not appear in the license key product listing that appears for some products in MVLS/VLSC. The product keys are embedded in the VLSC downloads and on the physical media, so there is no need to enter a product key, except in the event a TRIAL version has been installed first. If this is the case – see the TRIALs section.)
