RecoverKeys on Givewayoftheday today (November 21, 2007)

Title says it all - this one might be of interest to people looking for a solution to the problem discussed in this thread.

Disclaimer: I've not tried this one out yet...

I tried it, and was completely underwhelmed. Of the dozens of apps on my system (I love to play with new toys  ) the only apps it came up with keys for were Microsoft apps -- including IE, and who cares about that key?

There are heaps of free tools to extract the keys of MS apps, who needs a for-money program to do this?

Ha, ha, I just dropped back in here to update my post with the same info - I tried it too - the only non M$ app it found was SnagIt. It's of dubious utility even as a free install (it won't last on my machine longer than it takes me to type this post...) but paying $20 for it would be insane.

I imagine this program has not been updated for at least a year.

I downloaded it, installed it, went WTF?, uninstalled it. Waste of my time. It found 5 Microsoft keys. WhoopDeDoo
