    I installed a new key and it's still hidden...

    So to answer SoLoR's question:
    My guess is because it makes -ALL- keys unrecoverable, which could be an issue for an end user.

    ok how to revert this s**t :)

    go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion and delete:

    DigitalProductId
    DigitalProductId4

    then readd product key with slmgr and you are done :) product key is visable again...

    No Way Out of this Curse!! (At least for now)

    Dudes, let's put it plain and simple.. this command deletes, and not hides, the key from registry.. For this reason, it would be impossible to retrieve it.. :rolleyes:

    It's simply erased with no trace.. only the partial key remains as a hardcover in license properties.. It's taken as a security measure, it has to be a tough one.. :cool:
