keycode

i know there is a way to find my keycode once the software is installed, but

the sticker on my laptop is unreadable (why they put it on the bottom i will

never know), any ideas on how to get the keycode off the disk? i'm sure it's

encrypted but short of paying for something i own already or worst case

upgrade if i gotta buy, anybody?

yes i do realize there is a potential for abuse and that is not what is

happening here, if you want verification of who i am i will gladly submit it

Re: keycode

 

If you have a brand name laptop with the respective

recovery/re-install disc, you don't need a Product Key.

Belarc Advisor is free. Google for it. It works fine on x64 and it does

exactly what you want.
