Windows CDkey - General - Facepunch Forum

I am just wondering, is there any way of retrieving your Windows CDKey from the registry? I have actually tried a downloadable one [url]http://www.skaro.net/cd-keyreader/[/url] but i dont know if its trustable... Thanks in advance

only one way to find out

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion The number under ProductId

Are you sure? Because that is a different key than the one in the program...

You do know the format of a licence key dont you?

you mean like XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX ? I am BTW going to delete my whole harddrive... dont really remember what its called :downs:

I always use [url=http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/]this keyfinder[/url] when I need to. It works fine and it can find keys for other programs as well.
