Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder for Windows

Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder is a free utility that scans the desktop system registries for stored product keys. Your system's registries are databases where software stores important information, like unique product identifiers, so it reads these databases to find your keys. 

The Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder supports a wide range of third-party applications through a community-maintained configuration file. This allows the retrieval of keys across a broad spectrum of software, extending beyond basic programs. The tool can also recover keys from unbootable systems by accessing external registry files on other drives, making it a critical asset for essential data recovery.

The Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder doesn’t retrieve user passwords or security credentials. It only accesses product keys stored in your computer's registry. Once launched, the software automatically displays keys for compatible programs. All results are presented on a single, easy-to-read screen, eliminating the need to navigate complex menus or settings. It also offers command-line options for automation or scripted data retrieval for batch use cases or backup purposes.

The program uses a simple, community-maintained text file to expand its ability to find product keys for more software than it initially supported. You can even edit this file yourself to help the program find keys for less common or custom-installed programs. While it’s possible it cannot find every key on its own, you can customize it if you're comfortable with technical tasks.

This tool can even pull keys from drives that won't start up. You just point it to the system directory on another drive, and it can find and extract the license information. This is handy if you're trying to recover data or reinstall an operating system. However, it only works for software that stores its keys in the registry in a way that the tool can read.

Lost license recovery

The Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder is a tool that scans your computer's registry to recover lost product keys. Its effectiveness comes from a community-maintained configuration file that ensures broad compatibility. It can even recover keys from unbootable drives by accessing their registry files externally. Once launched, the tool displays all found keys on a single screen. Its command line options further enable automated tasks.
