Hi David, If the software is already installed in a computer or computers you can sometimes search the registry for say the first 5 characters of the key , for example I searched for T499P and the PDKey was located in hklm\software\\\\Visual Studio\\\ So I would know that that key was for my VS 2005. Any that can be found can be marked perhaps shortening the list of unknown. You can also use a program called SIW that will show many licenses under it's secret tab. SIW does not work on Vista 64 but does on XP. Google SIW Hope this helps a little Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "David & Joanne Gould" <dajomigo at dgsolutions.net.au> To: <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2007 3:41 PM Subject: [AccessD] mystery software keys >I have a friend who has a list of software keys from microsoft that > came with software cd's.
