So you lost your Windows product key and need to get a hold of it? Aleks Ozolins creator of Magical Jelly Bean KeyFinder has been developing this awesome freeware software that can...
Help you find your Windows (Office Product, Vista, XP, 2000, 2003 server, NT, 95, ME etc.. you get the point) product key painlessly. Windows and Office products aren't the only keys you can find with this little application. You can pretty much find anything that is stored in the registry. Here is a sample config file that Aleks provides in the software [Click Here]
The software is pretty simple to use. When you first start it up it will automatically display your Product Keys.
To change your Windows registration just click on Tools > Change Windows Reg Info
Enter the new registration information and press Change and you're done
Another pretty cool feature about this key finder, and registration changer is that you can load Hive from another drive. This feature is extremely useful if you have a damaged Windows install but you would like to salvage software information on it. The steps are pretty straight forward and simple.
Click Tools > Load Hive> Select the drive that has the Windows folders and press Ok

It doesn't work for me. I have Vista Business (volume license product original) and I still get the encripted result with all utilities like Jellybean:
BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB
I've tried 5 utilities and none of them work. Does it have something to do with SP1?
Hey Allen, I have Vista Ultimate 64Bit SP1 installed and it still works. What version of Jellybean are you using? The one that works is Jellybean 2.0 BETA. Here is the direct link. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/keyfinder/keyfinder.2.0.1.zip?use_mirror=osdn
