Since the retail box for PrintMaster Gold 2.0 does not include a printed manual, the Product Key will be printed on the back of the small inserted paper which includes installation instructions.

When PrintMaster 2.0 is purchased from as a 'DVD in sleeve', the Product Key will be located on top of the Installation disc
