Get your Windows product key from a script

The product key is located in the registry under

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion

It is the value named: DigitalProductId

If you look at it, you will realize it is encrypted:

 

That is what his script takes care of. It reverses the simple XOR encryption and turns that numeric mess into a readable product key.

 

cscript serial.vbs

 

 

save the following code to serial.vbs
