i know there is a way to find my keycode once the software is installed, but
the sticker on my laptop is unreadable (why they put it on the bottom i will
never know), any ideas on how to get the keycode off the disk? i'm sure it's
encrypted but short of paying for something i own already or worst case
upgrade if i gotta buy, anybody?
yes i do realize there is a potential for abuse and that is not what is
happening here, if you want verification of who i am i will gladly submit it

Re: keycode

If you have a brand name laptop with the respective
recovery/re-install disc, you don't need a Product Key.

Re: keycode

Belarc Advisor is free. Google for it. It works fine on x64 and it does
exactly what you want.
