in reply to Get windows cd key

Hello Anonymous Monk,

Can you provide us a sample of a key to decode?

What does it mean dose not seem to work? Is there an error? The output is not as expected? What do you expect what you get?

Update: Is your question related with (Finding Windows XP CD Key)? It seems like it.

Update2: Similar Retrieving Microsoft licence keys from your computer.

    The output is BBBB-..... I expect to get the key from the registry

      Getting the key from the registry and decodeing it are two wholy differnt things

      See the links thanos1983 posted for where/how to get the key from the registry (for XP)

      I'm pretty sure that's because the original code may have been written against a 32-bit version of windows, but you are on a 64-bit version. Can you confirm this?

        Hello stevieb,

        I think the code is compatible with WindowsOS 64 and he is running 32 bit. So maybe the XP code would work.

        The system is 32 bit
