[AccessD] mystery software keys

I was harsh...and I apologize for that...have some friends looking for the
way (assuming it cannot be found on the computer in question) to find what
he needs. I'm very sorry...just found it irritating that someone didn't keep
ALL the info together...it's a (siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh) db thing...

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
