Does anybody know of a program that can convert a MS product id (e.g. ) to a product key (e.g. )? If so, I am very interested in that.

Call MS customer support

I don't know of a converter program, but you can look in the registry (using regedit.exe)for the current Product ID and Product Key. Just go to the folowing: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion They are listed in the right window, or you can just do a registry search for productkey. Hope this helps.

var WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell"); var ProductKey = WSHShell.RegRead("HKLM\\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Productkey"); WSHShell.Popup(ProductKey, 0, "Windows 98 Product CD Key", 64); Copy and paste all of the above into NotePad. Save the file as ProductKey.js This will give you the product key for your OS
