With this software you will be able to track the number of software licenses installed in your business, find and recover a lost or forgotten product keys, save and keep an up-to-date backup of all your software license keys in a central location. Excellent tool for network administrators, or businesses undergoing a software license compliance.

"I may be too organized"
Version: Product Key Explorer 2.8.8
Pros
As I recall, it did what it said it would do - find some product keys. It didn't cost me anything to try it.
Cons
The previous version only found a few keys and they are ones I keep in a clearly identified folder. I don't think it found photoshop and I know it didn't find Snag-It or Win Patrol Plus, a couple of apps that I paid for but lost in an HDD failure and now can't use anymore even though I reinstalled them.
Product Key Explorer installed itself and then told me my trial was up (I only used the previous version once and it didn't help me and it was quite a while ago).
I have no complaints about the product, but it was not useful for me. Therefore 3 stars. -
"Hardly worth the effort"
Version: Product Key Explorer 2.7.1
Pros
Identified a few.
Cons
Showed less than half of the product keys for the registered programs I have on my computer.
Summary
It showed me the product keys for applications I wasn't looking for. The specific application I needed the product key for was not even identified in the list.
Product Key Explorer showed some programs, which are registered with keys and couldn't display them. Instead, it tells me to register the application (again?).
After spending about 10 minutes playing around with this, I decided to put one of my favorite programs to work - REVO uninstaller.
Thats 10 minutes of my life I'll never get back... :( -

"Probably good for Microsoft Software"
Version: Product Key Explorer 2.6.7
Pros
It was very easy to set up and use.
Cons
It would not work on the software I was trying to get the key, which was the upgrade disk for Yonde!!koko, a Japanese OCR software that is now owned by Seiko-Epson. I successfully recovered the product serial number but not the key.
Summary
Limited capabilities. Does not work on all software.
-
"Useless unless registered"
Version: Product Key Explorer 2.6.3
Pros
None at all.
Cons
Program states it is free to try. Not true - when I installed the program it came up, I hit the "FIND KEYS" button and all it said on all of them was "Please register this program to see key!".
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS PROGRAM!!!!!!!Summary
Absolute waste of time! Free to try.... What a lie

Pros
I can't find anything good about a product that has spyware attached.

I started to install this and the avast installed on the computer sent a warning that there is a trojan included with this download. Win32:Rbot-DLF.
Summary
Don't install, I only use CNET to download anything, because of the tested spyware free guaranty. Thank goodness for avast!4.8 home Antivirus
