1) Cd-Key reader is a handy utility that recovers Windows-based product cd keys in your computer. Simply run the program, let it does the scan, and it will retrieve those cdkeys for you.
2) If Cd-Key Reader doesn’t help you do the dirty work, Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder v1.51 is a good alternative which serves the same purpose. The Magical Belly Keyfinder is a freeware that retrieves your Product Key used to install Windows and Microsoft Office from your registry. It was tested to be compatible with Windows 95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Windows Vista, Office 97, Office XP, and Office 2003.
I personally have tried the two software and they both worked for me.

This little app would crash on vista for some reason.

Don’t use this version on Vista. They have a beta version for Vista, use that one. Easy to find on google.
Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder v2.0 Beta 5
Admin: I had no problem (crash or anything) using the 1.51 version on Vista. Anyway, people can find the Beta 5 download link at http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder

Great tools. I’ll test them out.

Ok it must be my system (vista professional) but neither the beta or the version you posted seems to work for me. I googled for other software, but so far I’m only finding paid programs..

If it is to be got from the registry entries, I’m sure we could do it without any tool or software. Just gotta find out where it is stored.
