2005 product key

I just downloaded sql server 2005 dev edition from my msdn subscription,
however, in the listing of product keys, I dont see any keys for sql server.
Dont I need a product key for this when I install it?

>|||Download the DVD edition (sorry). There was a problem with the initial CD
style distribution that incorrectly required product keys; I hope the
problem isn't that you started the download a w ago and only just
finished. The MSDN version of SQL Server 2005 should not require product
keys at all.

It might have the key built into the download. Some products work that
way to ease installation. Start the install and see.
