Great free product key finder

[Tech_Triage]

This is a great freebie. I needed to find the windows 7 product key on a freshly restored laptop I was working on. The sticker was so worn down and some of the key was not legible. So i found this freeware program and tried it. It worked great. Very easy to use and straight to the point on getting the key.

It does more than just windows keys. It does all installed programs it seems.

Try it for yourself.

AFAIK, there is no such thing as an app that does "all installed programs"

The best app as far as I have seen is http://recover-keys.com/

Magic Jelly Bean has been around for a long time, i've used it off and on.

I prefer Produkey right now, for it's ability to pull keys from slaved drives. At least for pulling MS product keys. Belarc gets most of the other stuff.

MJB will also do offline OS keys

I have had issues with MJB in the past going the wrong keys. I have also found the download is riddled with all kinds of garbage. Redirects and I thinks t one point it had some bundled crapware.

Thanks for pointing that out, I have nog noticed anything as of yet but I say if your going to install it to use on a machine that your going to reformat then it won't matter what extra crap it has on it.

License Crawler and Recover Keys are my go-tos.

I'll second that! Been using both of the programs for a few years now after switching from Jelly Bean Finder. Love Produkey...mainly for slaved drives and I use Belarc also. I usually pullout my trusty Iphone and take a photo

Be careful about the url

Don't do what I just did.
Instead of typing in magicaljellybean in the url, I entered magicjellybean, which took me to a fake site.

MSSE detected a trojan right off the bat:
Trojan.JS/Seedabutor.B

Big yes. Ridiculous but it saves me heaps of hassles. Photos of router wifi keys etc as well.

I use produkey as well as a nirsoft util which D7 uses.

Thanks for the jellybean malware info by the way.

PS. Bear in mind the security aspects of photographing keys. Remember to delete them afterwards.

I will definitely try produkey, it sounds like its favored by most. Thanks for sharing it guys.
