I found some old cds and dvds. Some are software or games and it asks me for a product key or whatever that was in the back of the original box (I do not have the original box) Idk if this is the right community but is there any way to skip it or crack it or something?

I mean the stuff is probably archived somewhere online and possibly already ready to just download or run but that's no fun and I am also curious.

Back in the day, every disc or software needed its own key, or you’d search for a crack that infected your computer with malware.

There’s no universal way to bypass keys. Try the wayback machine, perhaps, if you’re really into self-flagellation.
