There are no cd-keys, only registration codes which are already associated with your character. All you would have to do is enter your POL username and password after you install POL, FFXI and the expansions you have.

You won't need the CD keys. Just your POL account and password. When you install and run POL there will be a screen where you can tell it that you're an existing member (I don't know the exact wording).

thank you guys so much!! would you say i should uninstall the game off the old copy first before installing it in the new one? or wont it make a difference?

It won't effect your ability to play on the new PC at all. Whether you wipe that and/or the rest of your old hard drive depends on what you mean by "scrapped" and/or how worried you are about your personal data being found & used against you & all that sort of thing.
