Not to put too fine a point on it but MS didn't implement activation servers for the OS until XP's release. Up until then if the key passed all the internal checks one was good to go. If the product key doesn't work then it's not correct.

If the key is from W98FE ("first edition"), it may not work on W98SE ("second edition").
