Lansweeper License Key Report
Hi All,I'm new to this site and definitely an amateur so I can use all the help I can get. Since our IT Manager left it's my job to keep the systems in our company up and running smoothly.
It's a bit of a mess and I need some way of finding the product keys for all the software we have installed on our computers. I've seen several free applications that claim to be able to find and report the product key information for Office and Windows. Does anyone have any experience with them? Can you recommend one? I'm afraid to download free stuff because it might contain viruses, etc.
Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks so much. I've had pretty good success with License Crawler.First came onto it from Hiron's Ultimate Boot Disk, a must have tool in my opinion for troubleshooting.Click the.zip file at the bottom, the rest are ad ware unfortunately.One more thing. You can create a bootable usb drive from the.iso of HUBCD using this tool.I find it very helpful and much faster to boot to the usb drive. I install any operating systems the same way if we for some reason don't push it from configuration manager.Little tip. Boot options in HP=F9, Lenovo=F12GL to you!
Hope this helps!! ProduKey, is a nifty utility from NirSoft that lets you retrieve the product keys from various packages like Microsoft Office, Exchange Server, Windows 7, Vista etc. Installed on your PC. While there are many products similar to ProduKey, this stands apart from being a portable and a groovy little utility. You don’t have to go through the hassle of installing this software on your PC. Just run it and you’re done. Produkey has support for Microsoft Operating systems from windows 98 onward (with the exception of some versions of Windows 7) and works with Windows 8 too..

Just run it and you’re done. Produkey has support for Microsoft Operating systems from windows 98 onward (with the exception of some versions of Windows 7) and works with Windows 8 too. Unfortunately Produkey has not kept up. On the Produkey page linked above it says it supports Office through Office 2007 and doesn't mention later versions (2010, 2013). It does show the key for my Office Professional Plus 2010, but it's a single-user version, not a domain VLK version. If others here can report back on Produkey supporting volume keys for 2010 and any keys for 2013 it would be useful info to have. The version notes show the following:. Version 1.40: Fixed ProduKey to display the right product key of Microsoft Office 2010 Beta (Office 14)but that's just the beta version.
No newer version notes mention 'Office 2010' or 2013.Microsoft has gone to great lengths to hide the keys in 2013, and many of the key-finding utilities are just not keeping up.

FWIW I have tested many Product Key Finders against Office 2013 Home & Business, and AFAICT Microsoft has made it impossible to recover the Product Keys for Office 2013 Home & Business.Apparently they hash the PK and store that, calling it Product ID, but they haven't documented the hash function so we have no way of tying the PID (which we can see in the registry) to a given PK.They have provided a VBS script. that will let you see the last 5 characters of the PK, so if you have a list of PKs you can run the script on each machine and document it manually.
see discussion.
Do you know the WMI command to query the serial number of the monitor? All of those other things are necessary technical details that are used for displaying the screen so are coming through normal technical channels. The serial number would be something complete different. Not that there is no way for that to be reported, but it wouldn't be a standard thing and the existence of those other details in no way implies the existence of a management interface to the monitor.Like, for example, getting the MAC address, IP address and MTU of a device do not suggest that you can identify the device or know its serial number.
