SoftKey Revealer: Displays CD Keys And Serials Of Your Installed Software
Reinstalling software is usually painless, that is until you discover that you can’t find the CD key. This happens quite often and you’re faced with two options, buy another license or hope that you find/remember where it is.
A good way of making sure that doesn’t happen to you, is to make a list of all the serials of your important software right now. SoftKey Revealer is a free Windows application that will show you the serials and CD keys of software installed on your computer.

Not all Microsoft software are supported which means you won’t get the serials for every application you have installed.
Still, the program does what it says and gives you an option of saving your revealed serials to Microsoft Word. If you’re looking for a way to see CD keys of your installed games, the makers of SoftKey Revealer have a similar app for games that’s displayed on the product page.

Very useful actually! I’m trying to compile all of my product keys and serial numbers into one spreadsheet because I constantly lose those damn papers! Thanks!

Very useful BB. This makes it easy for use to find all the serial keys from a single point of view.

Software piracy is a bigger problem than people know about with everyone from home users to even business users. As someone that works with small business computer consultants (and small business owners), the piracy question one of the major items on my recommended checklist of things to ask new clients about during tech assessments, etc. With all that business owners have to think about, saving documentation for software programs and especially saving the original CD’s is not always part of the organizational system. This seems like a really good tool for saving some time and potentially money!

This looks like a really handy tool as no matter how organised I try to be, I always end up losing these kind of things - something like this will really help!
Cheers!
