Using a Windows utility called ProduKey you can retrieve the product keys for Microsoft Windows and Office.

  1. First click “here” to download (the link is down the bottom, you want the ZIP file)
  2. Open the saved file and extract to a folder that is easily accessible
  3. Open ProduKey.exe and it will automatically retrieve the product keys for the local machine.
  4. To recover the keys for another Windows installation, click File, Select Source
  5. Select Load the Product Keys from External Windows Directory and click Browse to locate the Windows directory you want to retrieve the keys for.

Note: Using this utility you can also recover the keys using a software hive and remote computers on the network (you have admin access to).

Note: Below are the command prompts commands to run the tool from the windows Command Prompt.
