Forgotten Serial Numbers? Here alternatives to recover them

Recover Windows Serial Numbers

In a previous article we mentioned a few tools that we could use to retrieve the serial number of certain number of applications installed on Windows; Undoubtedly, this can be a great need if we have acquired a computer with OEM licenses (especially the operating system) and where the label that generally contains the serial number that is attached to the computer's case may have disappeared .

It could also have been the case that we acquired a laptop and where, the operating system and a few other additional applications, came installed by default (by the manufacturer). If for some reason we have formatted the hard drive and subsequently got the applications to reinstall them in Windows, the serial numbers of each of these tools and applications will prevent us from having to use a trial version (evaluation or trial) from the same.

Compilation of five tools to retrieve serial numbers

In the previous installment we had mentioned five interesting tools that can help us achieve this goal, although it must be taken into account that some of them will only serve to retrieve serial numbers from the operating system, there are some alternatives that will instead recover the serial number of the office suite. The list that we will offer below (five other alternatives) will help us in various ways to recover these serial numbers.

1. Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder

With this tool we will have the possibility of recovering serial numbers of various applications. There are two versions to purchase, one being free and the other paid. In the first alternative (the free one) we will have the possibility of retrieve the serial numbers of approximately 300 applications as well as versions of Windows 7 onwards, Office 2010 and much more.

In the payment method you can also use this tool as a laptop on a USB pendrive.

2.Windows Product Key Viewer

The broad coverage of this tool can help you recover serial numbers of computers still using Windows 95. Of course, this situation is something very remote if we take into account that today, Microsoft is promoting to other more advanced versions of Windows.

With Product Key Finder We will have the possibility of recovering the serial numbers of different versions of Windows as well as of the Office suite, being on the list also at SQL server, Visual Studio, VMWare and Microsoft Exchange; There are those who tend to rescue an additional feature of this tool, since to recover Windows serial numbers it can be used for both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

4.Product Key Explorer

Unlike the other tools we have mentioned above, Product Key Explorer It is presented as a Shareware, which you will have to pay later after the evaluation time.

Retrieval of a serial number can be done locally or remotely. All results will remain saved in an external txt file or one that is part of the Windows registry.

5.Recover Keys

Like the previous tool, RecoverKeys It must also be purchased under a payment method, with which you can unlock each of the functions that will help you recover the serial numbers of more than 30.000 application and video game titles.

The options we have listed above may be of great interest to a large number of people who for some reason have lost the serial numbers of applications installed in Windows. We recommend using in the first instance, those tools that are free, although, if for some reason it is not successful, you can use any of the paid ones, but under the evaluation mode to know if our purchase will have good results later. .
