Guide Review - Winkeyfinder v1.73 RC2

Winkeyfinder v1.73 RC2 is one of the best choices out there if you're looking to locate a product key. It's a quick download and it's very, very easy to use. The product key (also referred to as the CD key) is immediately displayed for your operating system.

As of version v1.73 RC2, Winkeyfinder will locate the product keys for the following operating systems:

* Microsoft Windows 98
* Microsoft Windows ME
* Microsoft Windows 2000
* Microsoft Windows XP
* Microsoft Windows Server 2003
* Microsoft Windows Vista

The current version of Winkeyfinder will also locate the product keys for the following software packages:

* Microsoft Office 97
* Microsoft Office 2000 SP2
* Microsoft Office XP
* Microsoft Office 2003
* Microsoft Office 2007

Winkeyfinder may also find the product key or CD key for many other programs that hide keys in the Windows Registry. If you find that Winkeyfinder locates a product key for a major piece of software not listed here, let me know and I'll add it to the list.

Winkeyfinder lets you print your product key, save it as a text file, or copy it to the clipboard to paste elsewhere for safe keeping - all from within the program! Now that you can save you product key somewhere safe, hopefully you won't have to resort to using a keyfinder program in the future.

Advanced users will appreciate the capability to easily change the product key (Windows XP and Office 2000 only) and the local user registration information. Winkeyfinder will also allow you to backup and restore your activation files, making a future installation of Windows much easier.

A password generator feature is also packaged with Winkeyfinder. While this isn't directly related to finding lost product keys, it is a handy feature you may find useful.

You may not use Winkeyfinder every day, but it does its job when you need it to. I highly recommend Winkeyfinder 1.73 RC2!
