You can retrieve Product Keys for Windows, MS Office and over 150 other software products: Microsoft Windows1,2,3 (NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/Windows 7/Windows 8/Windows 10) Microsoft Office5 (20002,4/XP/2003/2007/2010). ACDSee (6/7/8/9) Alcohol 52/68/120% Adobe Acrobat (6/7/8/9,X,XI) Adobe Illustrator Adobe Photoshop 7, CS5.x, CS6.x Adobe Framemaker 10 Adobe Premiere CS5.x, CS6.x Adobe Robohelp 9 Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.x, CS6.x Adobe Lightroom 3.x/4.x AutoCAD Cyberlink PowerDVD Crystal Reports FinePrint Macromedia Flash/Fireworks/ColdFusion/Dreamweaver/Contribute/FreeHand Microsoft Exchange (2000, 2003, 2007) Microsoft Money (2005/2006/2007) Microsoft Operations Manager Microsoft SQL Server Microsoft Virtual PC Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 Microsoft Visual Studio Microsoft Works Nero Norton Partition Magic Registy Mechanic Roxio Easy Media Creator Sonic MyDVD TuneUp Utilities VmWare WinImage WinZip ZoneAlarm XmlSpy 2010, 2011 Notes: 1. The Product Key can't be retrieved from the Windows CD! Product keys are not stored on CDs themselves. When you enter your key while installing, it's checked against an algorithm to verify that the key is valid. 2. Doesn't work for Digital entitlement (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/activation-in-windows-10), MAK/KMS/Active Directory-based Activation (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff793435.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396) Product Keys, or if SLMGR was used to remove the key (/siw/raw-key-digitalproductid.php) from the Windows Registry, or you are running a pirated version of Windows. 3. For those of you using this to retrieve serial numbers from a DELL, be aware that the key will be incorrect. DELL pre-activates all its versions of Windows with an identical serial and places the license key on the outside of your case. This saves them money because it's much more efficient for these large companies to install Windows once and then clone the drive. 4. With Office 2000, SIW (System Information for Windows) retrieves the Product ID. You need to call Microsoft for customer service. You give the customer service agent the product ID and he or she will then give you your Office 2000 Product Key. 5. SIW (System Information for Windows) cannot automatically retrieve Office 365/2016/2013 keys. Check How to Find Your Microsoft Office 365, Office 2016, or Office 2013 Product Key (/other/how-to-find-your-microsoft-office-2016-product-key.php) page. 6. You can use Windows Product Key Update Tool (http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/selfhelp/pkuinstructions.aspx) to change your Windows Product Key. 7. SIW (System Information for Windows) shows partial keys for MAK/KMS/Active Directory-based Activation/Click-To-Run products. How to recover some Product Keys from a non-booting Windows Installation. First you will need some things: A BartPE (/bart-pe.php) Boot CD SIW (System Information for Windows) on an USB stick or on the BartPE CD then: 1. Boot the dead system from BartPE CD 2. Start SIW (System Information for Windows) 3. Select Software --> Remote Licenses --> From Hive 4. Load the Hive File (C:\windows\system32\config\system) from the dead Windows directory

Browsers: Edge / Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mizilla Firefox, PaleMoon, Waterfox, SeaMonkey, Opera, Safari Outlook 2000-2016 POP/SMTP passwords. Outlook Express RAS and dial-up Passwords Wireless (WEP/WPA) SSID/Key5 that have been stored by the Windows Operating System (not 3rd party products) WinSCP Pidgin FTP Commander FileZilla MSN Messenger, Windows Messenger and Windows Live Messeger Yahoo Messenger (Versions 5.x and 6.x) Total Commander Trillian Windows Credentials Notes: 1. Passwords are not printed / saved in reports (Don't ask why!). 2. SIW (System Information for Windows) can only be used to recover the passwords for the current logged-on user on your local computer. 3. SIW (System Information for Windows) only works if you chose the remember your password in one of the above programs. 4. You cannot use this utility for grabbing the passwords of other users. 5. Notice for Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server users: If your network has WPA encryption then the recovered password would be in 64 HEX digits BUT you can use these digits to connect to internet same as a password. This is not a bug. Windows XP can't convert WPA back the original password. Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 don't have this issue. WEP passwords in Windows XP are recovered without a problem.
