You don't even need a Windows 10 key if re-installing it.

Use Belarc Advisor free. Gives you key info of most spplications and even last 5 digits of MS Office 2019

load 3 times and never recieved email thought that it would be fix tonight
on way

I tried this morning and didn't seem to get my info via email. I tried again tonight and it didn't seem to work either. Then I tried a different, less used email, and found an email from TENORSHARE, in my SPAM for the registration code and it worked PERFECTLY. i NOTICED TOO, THAT IT WAS IN MY ORIGINAL EMAIL SPAM. ANOTHER EMAIL FROM TENORSHARE. Worked Great to get me the Windows 10 Key. THANKS.

Downloaded, installed and registered without problem. Like others, it only found my Win 10 Pro, IE, and the previously installed Office 2013 Pro. It wasn't able to find my currently installed Office 2016 Pro license.


PS. - Why do we have to click Captchas now before we can send our comment? Does GOTD earns from these Captchas?

I am not sure what this developer is trying to achieve except make some money out of unsuspecting and inexperienced windows users... this product only seems to be designed to retrieve easily retrievable Microsoft software products licenses and no other software developers licenses... To add insult to injury selling monthly and annual licenses in addition to lifetime licenses is crazy as one can get utilities that retrieve license keys for microsoft products for free from many freeware and shareware developers.

e.g. https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

Commercial products should search the registry for keys and strings named "Key" and other commonly used registry string value names used to store license keys in plain text and then figure out the program that the license key is probably associated with... it should not be programatically that dificult... Where a license code is not a simple ASCII string but an encoded string like base64 or a variant on URL encoded then it could offer to export the activation data registry keys to a .reg file so it could be re-applied if a re-install is required but the vendor is no longer in business so their activation server is no longer functioning.

A commercial product offering multiple software vendor license recovery... still not using the algorithm mentioned above but using reverse engineered license storage locations is:

http://recover-keys.com/en/nirsoft.html

They boast:
"Product Key Finder for Windows, Office and 10,000+ more programs"

I have downloaded the demo of that program and it finds many of the giveaway license keys... obviously not all of them and does provide for creating an sqlite database of the found details and an advanced mode that uses part of the algorithm I described above so that users can help the developer add more software products license storage locations...

Note the demo only shows the first few characters of found license keys as proof of functionality if you want the full license keys use some inteligence and advanced tools to dig out keys manually from the shotgun scan or buy a license :-)

(If I had not already done all the license backup and reverse engineering for every software product I've ever installed and wanted to keep I would consider buying that product)

No Ralph, i assure you my post is legit, and not a joke.

quite useless , it only shows windows 10 and IE , office, but not adobe and other software.
well actually i don't need to recover , just as a test don't find the software doing more than open source does

When it says it will recover from "Internet Explorer... and other software products", I'm at a loss. I haven't used IE for years... usually use Firefox or Chrome. But what password for IE would it recover? Unless they've changed drastically, I wouldn't expect IE to have a password for itself.

Is it talking about recovering passwords for online sites?

My eason for asking is that I'm trying to help a fiend recover her Facebook password, which she used to access on her computer (probably a different browser than IE, though). She took a FB "vacation" and now forgets her sign-on.

Will this do that? (L-O-N-G S-H-O-T)

We are always asked by GOTD: How you would improve GOTD give away? Well, PassFab needs to find product keys other than Internet Explorer and the Windows operating system. How about MS Office and other expensive programs?

Only find Windows 10 Pro & "Internet Explorer", other free products find more application licenses

All the program recovers for me are the keys for W10 OS and Internet Explorer.
Some of you reported that you were able to get the MS Office key. I suppose this must be one of the earlier office version since the key for the latest MS Office version seems to be not any longer stored in the registry, only the last 5 digits, according a Microsoft source. Does anybody have another info?

Will this program recover product keys that can't be recovered by the free NirSoft ProduKey utility?

Found Email for Registration Key in SPAM folder. Thank you!

Can this only be used on whatever PC to which it is installed? In other words if I use it on my PC after installing it today is there any way I could help a friend who lost their Office documentation at a future date?

I fixed a friend's computer a month or two ago by installing a new SSHD. The hardest part of the upgrade was getting the Office key of the old hard drive. (And since I don't do this on a regular basis I've forgotten how I did it.)

Is this a portable app so that I can use it on all of my desktops/laptop ?

Registration is a bit confusing but is accurate if you following the directions exactly as written in Readme.txt. After submitting key email no mail with key comes back. Perhaps a technical issue for sponsors to look into. I will be patient and write again if not received. Looks like an effective program. Thanks.

When I send my e-mail adress it say's "Submit success" but no mail for 30 minutes!

I can only recover the key codes for MS Office and Windows 10. What about the other 20+ software programs that each required an unique key code when it was installed? I am sure the software developer will have a good excuse for this.

Downloaded and installed no problem. Recovered Win 10 ... Internet explorer ... and Ms Office licences.
But only those three , No mention of any others Paint shop pro for example not shown. But useful enough to be a keeper.

Where is the LICENCE DATA so i can register this program? thanks......
