I recently bought a laptop that has a WIn 2K oem license sticker on the case. I do not have the accompaning CD.

Is there a place that I can get the CD to install the OS on this system?

Thanks 




    From the computer's manufacturer.



The last time I took a close look at the W2K licencing it was the vendor, not the manufacturer, who had the legal obligation to make sure that a system sold with W2K pre-installed also included the COA and the CD.


Well, yes. But in regards to pre-installed OEM software, the "vendor" and the "manufacturer" are one and the same. Or are you thinking that the retailer could provide replacement media?
