How to recover lost product license keys and not just Microsoft licenses?
Which products have you tried? Have you looked at Magic Jelly Bean? Depending on the OS and software, some keys are not retrievable. You should also know that certain software are not transferable from one PC to another, reference the license terms of each for clarification.
There are so many products out there that claim to recover lost software license keys and all of the ones I've tried either recover only MS license keys or no keys at all. I'm trying to recover keys from my fathers old system to install on his new one and some of the products he used do not have the keys available. Anyone out there with a viable product key recovery tool that will get back more than just MS license keys?
My father will be greatly pleased.

Trying to reinstall CS4 and I've lost CS3 activation key
I bought CS3 years ago, upgraded to CS4. I'm trying to reinstall CS4 and it's asking for the CS3 activation key. I've lost the CS3 key. Is there any way to recover it?
ThanksHi houyhnhnm2,
You need to contact Customer Service ( http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html ) and they would be able to help you find the serial number if you have registered it.
Else they will help you unlock the serial key after validating.

i need help to get my license key back for photoshop elements 11 can't not find it anywhere in my account. Please Help
if you purchased from a local store, there should be a hard-copy sleeve/insert with your serial number. if you can't find that, you cannot establish ownership of pse 11.
if you can find it, you can download the installation file and use your serial number to activate it,

How do I retrieve the Adobe Pro License key/# so I can reinstall on my computer. I had to have the hard drive replaced due to failure and don't have the necessary information to reinstall Adobe Pro.
As this was a 1,000 USD + purchase I did registered back in 2008 when I got my copy of "Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium". And now I'm in the same situation as you. I did go to manage my account and found my serial number.
My disk crashed completely and I got everything back and running from my Time Machine backup. A few days ago Illustrator said there was a licensing issue. I tried all their gradual solutions up to the very last one: Reinstalling.
I did that and inserted the Serial number; it worked. Now that I'm opening the Adobe Acrobat Pro it requires me to input the serial and it says is invalid!
Anyone has an idea about this? -
On my old PC with windows XP I was working with photoshop elements 10 ( NL version).
Now I bought a new faster PC (windows 8.1) and installed photshop elements 10 (L version on that new PC.
The problem is that I can't find my license key. The old PC is gone so I have a problem activating photoshop elements 10 on my new PC.
What can I do to get it running?
Best regards,
Gobi345You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

Any way to validate CS3 license key is legal without installing software?
Hi,
I'm going to meet someone tonight who is selling their CS3 Master Collection software. They claimed they have removed it from their PC. I've been doing some searching without luck as to whether there is a online or over the phone tool to verify I'm buying a valid license from this guy. Is there such a thing? Or am I going to have to install some or all of the software to make sure the key works?
Thanks!
BrianSeveral points that you must make sure of before consumating any deal for used software:
(1) Obviously, the software must not only be uninstalled from the owner's computer(s), but it should also have been deactivated prior to having been uninstalled.
(2) You cannot legally transfer a license if this was an academic or student version of any type.
(3) If the seller has used their CS3 Master Collection as the basis for upgrading to CS4, they cannot transfer the license. They can continue using CS3 but they can neither sell nor give away the CS3 software.
(4) Volume license versions of Adobe software have restrictions as to transfer of license.
(5) The "seller" should be willing to let you call Adobe Customer Support and verify that the serial number for the product is both valid and transferable. Furthermore, the "seller" must be willing to fill out and submit to Adobe the paperwork necessary to legal transfer all right of the software to you. See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/152/tn_15281.html for more details!
(6) Make sure that the transaction includes both the media and licensing information. A set of copied DVDs and a serial number on a piece of paper are the sure sign that something isn't quite kosher.
Be aware that CS3 is now a fairly old version of Adobe software and may have installation and operational problems on the latest versions of operating systems.
Good luck.

Lost license key for Starffice 8
Hi there,
IU have, through a fatal harddrive crash lost all license keys optained online (including staroffice).
Does anybody know how I would be able to optain the initial key again?Tim Callebaut wrote:
So, I reinstalled Logic 9 Studio (upgrade). When I enter the key, it asks for my Logic 8 xskey,
I'm pretty sure you mean the Logic 7 XSKey. 8 came without key.
but it seems that I have lost my key for Logic 8. As far as I remember, I did register Logic 8 (or even 9). Is there any way I could retrieve my key or validate my new install without extra costs?
You'll probably have to pay for the phonecall to Apple support...
May seem a little far-fetched, but could it even be possible to send Apple some proof that I really payed for Logic?
Why farfetched? Seems commonsensical to me, and AFAIK you can do this. But I think you would get more definitive and detailed answers if you just called Apple Support. -
I've lost Windows 7 license key
As stated in the topic, unfortunately I've lost the license key to my Windows 7: Home Premium
due to the damage to the sticker (after 3-4 years it completely faded)
and by chance it just occurred that I needed to re-install the system (recovery didn't work)
So my question is how to effectively contact Toshiba about recovering the licence key?
I'm asking since Polish Toshiba site has completely closed off the possibility of contact.
I do not need the recovery disc (as I've seen in some topics) just licence key> {quote:title=TomDexter wrote:}{quote}
> >Meaning I have to either buy recovery disc from Toshiba and gain the licence or plainly buy new Windows
> In case you did not create own Recovery Disk in the past, you can order a recovery disk from Arvato service or you will purchase own Windows containing new serial key.
I did not, I had access to original Windows disc and didn't think I would be unable to recover the system. I'll need to gain access to new Windows OS (price of the recovery disc is almost the same as the new OS).
Thanks for the answers. -
Hi
I downloaded Sneak Preview SAP NetWeaver 04s - Full ABAP Edition with Web Dynpro for ABAP.
I am able to set up the same and i am able to logon to the NSP system.
But when i am trying to use my license key which i got from SDN it is saying the invalid license key. I tried with replaceing ZERO with "O" still it is showing the same. Could any body help me in this regard
The follwing message i got from the SDN
Dear Mr BOGA UMASHANKAR, thank you for your interest in SAP solutions.
You requested an evaluation license for the following system: SAP System
ID: NSP;
Operating System: Windows
SAP Release: 6.40;
Database: MaxDB
You have already registered with the evaluation and your license key is still valid. If you want to change your registration data, please reply to this email and specify your needs. In case that you have lost your license key, here is your current evaluation data:
Your Hardware key : P0794904372
Your License Key : OMN2Z5913D2JA8F48KXBP84G License Expiration date: 20060523 SID : NSP
Installation-Nr. : DEMOSYSTEM
Some useful hints: - The license key depends on your hardware. If you have changed the hardware setup or if you want to install the demo on another hardware, you have to request a new license using the new hardware key. - You can obtain your current hardware key and change/update your license without reinstalling the demo at any time. To do that, use the "saplicense" executeable located in C:\BSP with the -get and -install switches - If your license will not work, check that the characters match in case and make sure you differ between zero and the letter "O". Have fun!to install the license key you should have logged on the windows system with user id nspadm.

Retrieve license key from Adobe Acrobat X software install
Hello,
Pardon if this is a simple thing to find. My experience with Adobe is pretty much limited to reader and flash.
I am helping a friend here. He is upgrading his old PC to a new PC. He would like to install his old copy of Adobe Acrobat X on it, but lost the license key some time ago. My question is there a way to find the license key from the software itself?If you don't have any luck with obtaining it from your friend's Adobe account, Belarc Advisor should be able to retrieve it from the PC

I bought CS3 a couple of years back, and have been using it without problems ever since. All of a sudden I try to open it today and it says "Trial period has ended, please enter license key". The trouble is, I have no idea what the key is, when I bought the software I did it online with a work email address and I no longer work for that company so there is no way of tracing the email from my end.
has anyone experienced this? Any help gratefully received, I really need to do some work! and I don't really want to pay for PS all over again.
Many thanks.I registered my CS4 with Adobe in August 09 and have been using it ever since. Until today when trying to open InDesign I get a window that says Software Setup wants my registration code. It says I have two options - Use this on a trial basis, or enter registration code, which I did and it says it's invalid.
I downloaded the tool you mentioned, but it wouldn't run saying it was missing a .dll file.....
I didn't buy from Adobe, but if it was pirated wouldn't they have been able to tell when I registered it?
I started a case with Adobe support, but from what I'm reading I don't expect much!
Any Ideas?
