[AccessD] mystery software keys

I've used Belarc Advisor and it sometimes shows keys (along with every other
piece of info about your PC!).  It's at:

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
