Recover Keys

Sure enough you generally need to insert a program activation or licence key one time, but not if you format your computer in the meantime. You might lose your keys or forget them, in which case you can use Recover Keys, a powerful Windows tool designed to help users recover product keys for Windows, Microsoft Office and many other installed apps.

As compared to all the other apps on the market developed to serve the same purpose, Recover Keys provides many more options, allowing you not only to scan the local computer, but also network workstations, another Windows operating system or various Windows components.

For example, Recover Keys can look for product keys in the Adobe cache.db file if you’re trying to get the license key for an Adobe piece of software, but it can also check registry files for available information.

A standard scan doesn’t take more than a few seconds, with Recover Keys showing the product name, type and license key in a very well organized interface.

What’s more, the application lets you export the collected information to a number of popular formats, including TXT, HTML, Word, Excel, PDF, CSV or XML.

Although a help section isn’t available in the app, the developer lets you ask for technical support using an online contact form, but an Internet connection is obviously needed.

The program however works smoothly on all Windows versions and it doesn’t affect the overall stability of the system. No administrator privileges are needed.

To sum up, Recover Keys is clearly one of the best tools developed to recover lost product keys. It provides a great feature package and comes with a straightforward GUI that makes everything easy as pie for all user categories.
