| 820828 | 2009-10-15 04:19:00 | Hey! I know there must be a way to recover an office key from a dead Windows installation but cannot find how. This program (www.ac2tech.com), can decrypt the key once I have found it but I cannot find it in the registry. On the website they only give the location of the actual windows installation key which I did test and it works. Any help appreciated!! Assume that I cannot boot into the dead windows installation and that this is the only way :) Thanks, Gregor |

| 820830 | 2009-10-15 04:26:00 | I should have said that I tried using Magic JellyBeans. I spent about an hour trying to get the Hive from another drive to load, but this didn't work :) I just need to know the location in the registry where the Office Key is stored, after that I should be all good. Thanks again. |

| 820832 | 2009-10-15 19:51:00 | I put the drive into another computer through a usb, not as a slave, which didn't work. Does it need to be booted up as slave in order to load the hive? I'll try booting from a bart pe cd with KeyFinder in there to see if that picks up the keys. Hopefully it'll work. |
