Yeah Magnetic media is going to deteriorate sooner or later.  Even CD's will flake eventually.  redundancy is the only real solution.  Not to mention have backups off site to avoid location risk.  

Have you searched to see if the author is still around?  Maybe they will release the key generator for it. Many old school game developers have done that.  

Just a thought.
