The full version of the program reads the product keys for the applications installed on your computer. It prevents us from loss of activation keys, in case of a system crash or hard drive - a list of keys can be saved to a file or printed. Recover Keys detects the serial numbers for Windows, Microsoft Office, Adobe products and 700 other programs.

Besides drivers there are serial numbers and activation codes worth preserving, in order to restore from a system crash. Get your valuable software product keys quickly with Recover Keys. Recover Keys can be downloaded from https://recover-keys.com/. The software is not free, unfortunately the demo version only shows the first four characters of a registration code found. Fear not: the program, with a price tag of $24.95 is quite affordable. Given the potential of misery that it prevents, is definitely worth the purchase.

One of the features of the program Recover Keys - the ability to scan both the local computer and remote. This feature of the program only works if the user has the appropriate administrator rights. In addition to the serial number, Recover Keys identifies the programs IDs as well as some additional information on registration - name of the user you are logged on, and the company name.

Other reviews and testimonials

Pros
Lets you preview search results before paying! Saved me over $40 right away by recovering my blood bowl legendary edition player key.

Cons
the only cons are the other reviews here. I almost didn't try this program because of them. All I can say though is download it and do the free search and preview and decide for yourself. I'm glad I did ;)

Summary
i purchased a new laptop and wanted to move some games to my new computer. Recover Keys was able to find all my CD and player keys on my existing computer so that I would not have to re-purchase several games for my new computer. so if you're like me and don't remember what site you purchased a downloadable game from - Recover Keys can help you out.

I want to thank you and your company for a great product.
It has become invaluable as I repair and update computers for various non-profit and school based organizations. I've been using it to catalog their applications and it has been a great assist in that regard.

Updated itself immediately. Found keys quickly. However, it does access Internet every time you scan your hard drive for keys. If you have lost a key & anticipate installing program on new computer, it will do the job for you. Oh, and yes, I know there are probably freeware alternatives, I just don't want to hear about them. ;-)

Neat program! I use to have to write down my keys just in case. Now I don't have to. The program does all the hard work for me. I can simply print it out for safekeeping and at the same time save it on my computer for future reference. Simple, yet very effective!

Installed without problems on XP. Found 27 keys of which 12 are Microsoft software. Saved a printout for future reference just in case PC goes belly up :)

Nice program! I have been wanting something like this for ages

Ashutosh Mishra

Rob_L

Wow what a great little program,. Works well and was easy to export to a flash drive. Thank you so much keep up the great work

F Bluhat

I like it. Whether it found every single key or not. It found a LOT of them. Many of which I had lost. Did find the Win XP key. I have the disk, but lost the key. Maybe there is some other way to find this key, but I don't know it, and this was very easy!

Thanks, good program with an unique (and needed) use!

Bill Marsh

Wow, much improved over the previous version! This version was able to record all of my keys except for one. I am happy enough with it that I will put it on at least one other machine. Definately a thumbs up!!

Chuck

great program, i use a lot of licensed software, and to have all the keys in the same place is so much more convenient. i had a pretty food success rate with my first search, it found 97 of 99 programs.
