IT is not a serial number, it is a Product Key.
AND it is NOT on the CD.
I know this is hard to understand but microsoft does not put the product keys on individual CD's. The software on the cd only checks to see if the product key is in the correct format when you type it in. With XP and Vista the product key is used for activation.
Take a look at this web site:
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/tipstricks/ht/find98key.htm
it will show you how to recover the product key from the regestry.

Serial numbers are not located in the CD so it would be impossible to recover it from there. Complain to the seller that the key does not work.

They are not stored on CD, they come with the paperwork only or on the casing.
