HI

Is there a command or a script in which the output is displayed only
the license key, unencrypted, of Vista SP1 to include it in a
variable?

THANKS

BYE

Hello Mazzaroc,

You can use "slmgr.vbs -dli" (no quotes) to display partial license
information.

This will help you see what the complete product key number being used
is though.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hi Shawn--

I appreciate the command but it's value is limited, and I'm not sure it gets
what the OP wanted.

I read the OP, Mazzaroc, to want his Product Key because he had either lost
it or someone gave him a pc with it, or perhaps he had been given a torrent
OS and needed a PK for activation.

Your command gives the first five/twenty-five (5/25) characters of a PK.
I'm not sure how that helps. It's partial with a "capital P." It does
confirm activation.

If the OP wants to see the full 25 character PK in XP, Vista, and Windows 7
which are the current MSFT OS's in play, then these will do that in a
second:

Keyfinder Version 1.51

Other options, but the above works perfectly on all OS's through the latest
build of Win 7 are listed here:

Hi Mazzorock--

The info that the command "slmgr.vbs -dli" (no quotes) yields is 5/25
characters of the Vista or Win 7 Product key, and the activation status of
the OS.

I don't have a command or script to include in a variable category , (which
Shawn provided) but if you want to display the full product key for all your
MSFT software on the box, you can use these:

Keyfinder Version 1.51

build of Win 7 are listed here:
