Need to recover Adobe product key from crashed OS

[rtorres15]

Any way of recovering Photoshop , Dreamweaver cs3 product key from crashed os(vista)?

for PS CS3 try this location:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
cache.db file may contain the key
It gets created when you first register it
not sure it its transferable to a new computer or not you may want to call adobe for assistance

you would take the old software registry hive in c:\windows\system32\config folder and regload it to a machine that works so you can browse the old hive for the key

ProduKey is a small utility that displays the ProductID and the CD-Key of Microsoft Office (Microsoft Office 2003, Microsoft Office 2007), Windows (Including Windows 7 and Windows Vista), Exchange Server, and SQL Server installed on your computer.
