Retrieve Serial Numbers or CD Keys from your computer
posted byRaymond on September 18th, 2006

KeyFinder Thing is a simple utility to retrieve the Serial numbers or CD Keys of Microsoft software installed on your system. It includes options to export the list of found keys and a search option to find keys not included by default.
Whilst this utility is aimed at Microsoft products, the author have built it to be versatile so he can include other non-MS products. Currently KeyFinder Thing is able to search for serial numbers or CD keys for 90 software titles. ClickHERE to view the 90 software titles.
Basically there are 2 versions of KeyFinder. The Full and Lite version.
The full version requires you to have.NET 2.0 FX installed and it looks like the picture below.

As for Lite version, its smaller! (50kb) and you don‘t need to have .NET 2.0 FX installed. But it doesn‘t have the features of the full version. Its basic and to the point now and the only dependancy is MSVBVM60.dll. Most of computers nowadays has MSVBVM60.dll

The Full version has a feature where you can search the registry for other serial numbers that‘s not currently supported. I prefer to use the full version because it‘s more advance than the Lite version and it‘s not complicated. The only drawback is you need to have.NET 2.0 FX installed which doesn‘t come preinstalled in your computer when you install Windows XP. The best part of this software is it‘s FREE.
Note: I advice you to only use this great software on your computer if you‘ve forgotten your serial number or lost your CD key. Using this software on other computers to steal CD Keys is wrong.

While this is a useful utility, it will be interesting to see what Microsoft’s take on it is.

@Sky: That depends on what your site is…… although i’d prefer all download links to go to majorgeeks.com than to my mirrors. The lite one listed here is fine but i’d preferhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/Keyfinder_Thing_3_d5188.html for the full version.
Everyone should note that 1.09 was released a few hours ago before I saw digg but the download link is always current.
Thanks Everyone

“search for serial numbers or CD keys for 90 software titles”
Can you publish the list (of 90 titles), please?

I’ve downloaded the full version (3.1.6) formhttp://www.majorgeeks.com/Keyfinder_Thing_3_d5188.html, but it doesn’t work on my computer. I have WinXP Pro with .NET 2.0 installed.
The program’s main window is empty.
The Lite version works!
Any idea?

[…] Here’s a scenario: Say you’re getting a new PC and want to install your copy of Microsoft Office on it before you get rid of your old PC, but you’ve lost your CD key. Okay, I’m sure you can come up with a better scenario than that, but either way Keyfinder Thing is what you’re looking for. It’s a free app for Windows that will magically discover the serial numbers for all of the Microsoft software you have installed with just a few clicks. Keyfinder Thing comes in two versions: Full and Lite. Both are free and both do basically the same thing, but the former has a few more features and requires the .NET 2.0 FX library which you may or may not have. The latest version of Keyfinder Thing is capable of digging up the keys for more than 90 titles. The program’s author, of course, is careful to warn against using Keyfinder Thing for illicit purposes. Don’t do that, mmkay? […]

I wonder what’s the point of retrievingWindows XP serial key when it is going to be activated over the Internet or over the phone. Usually if you purchase a computer, the serial should be at the back of the CPU, unless the sticker is removed, or the casing is “missing”.
