Is the Software save: yes, the LicenseCrawler has been tested by many software distribution teams against viruses, spyware, adware, trojan, backdoors and was found to be 100% clean. I am not so stupit to write bad software and show my address in the contact form for the police.

If you want to setup your computer system again you need to have the licenses and serial numbers at hand for all the software programs that you have purchased and registered. This does include the Windows product key but also other serial numbers for applications like Nero, Office, VMWare and pretty much every other application.

Instead of searching for the keys in your emails, manuals and recipes you could use another approach. License Crawler is a sweet little application that scans the Windows Registry for Windows product keys and other serial numbers and licenses.

The License Crawler can discover application product keys and other serial numbers or licenses very quickly and supports all versions of Windows operating system from Windows 95 to Windows Vista.

It is a portable application that can be run from any location and would be a perfect fit for an USB stick. Asking clients to find serial and license keys is often very frustrating. Instead, tech support can simply run License Crawler without having to interact with the client at all.

Most likely, the manufacturer used just one OEM number for all his clients, instead of an unique one for each machine.. That makes the installation of Microsoft programs onto thousands of computers easier. This also means that the serial number printed on your computer hasn't been activated yet, allowing you some degree of anonymity.

There is a way. All you need a bootable CD-ROM or USB stick.

Start Linux or BartPE and save the following file: Windows\System32\Config\software (no extension)
Open Regedit: (WIN+R) enter regedit
In the Registry editor use "load hive..." to bind the file "software"
run the LicenseCrawler
Regedit "unload hive..."

Yes of course. You can use REGEDIT to scan the local or remote registry. Click on seek and enter right search words. Other products like Adobe store the license information in a sqllite database file. All you need is sqlite to open the file and print out the product informations.

The LicenseCrawler is free to download and free to use.
!! PLEASE DO NOT PAY FOR THIS PROGRAM !!

By the way. If you find a minute, please make a picture of your town and send me a mail so that i can see where the LicenseCrawler live. ;-)
