Solved How to view the product key in Vista?

[dinesh]

Though we have got free softwares which can let us view the product key in Vista;
Is there a way to view the product key within vista? For Ex: Inside any registry key
or in any system file?
Where is the product key located in the OS?

Hi dinesh,

The product key is in the registry, the only problem is , as far as I know, it's encrypted

If you mean the Product ID (PID), "Start", right-click my computer, "Properties"

See Image below (PID masked for security reasons )
