    I am sure you are aware it is actually not for Windows 9. It was only named that jokingly.

    I would assume its closed until and if there is a need for more development, or possibly it is not a maintained app or supported any longer. The DL link still works.

    Yep or a mishandling, it was open yesterday. the DL links works, I just download it and test it successfully.
    I had a question for woot332's on his tool:
    Will it be possible in a next version to have the key also for an offline Windows by choosing it (eg: F:\Windows), it would be useful from a PE too.

    This can easily be done in PE and linux already so I dont see much value in adding to Windows 9 Product Key Viewer.

    Yes, there are several other tools. I personally use Nircmd productkey and/or Magical Jelly Bean.

    Your tools has others good features that others don't have. MSDM table, Activation Backup and restore.
    That's really great, it only lacks for offline windows to be on top and replace the others
    Well, it's for my need but it would be a real bonus, I think.
    Up to you, of course, and thanks for your nice "Windows 9 product key viewer"
    :)

    Nice to read maybe ;)

    No doubt that it works well in To-Go and also in PE for the Embedded key in BIOS :icecream:
    It would be really great if in To-Go or in PE, it could also work with the host system :mushy:
    With maybe a new tab to select, change the windows folder (load hive,...)

    Hi Atari,
    I'm registered here for over 5 years but without really participated.
    I'm a bit tired on PE, development, support with the large participation (thanks to you, however) and my free time. I need to see other fields, now :p.

    yeah of couse but it would be nice and to be ready for windows 9/365 :smile3:

    So from WINPE need to mount "c:\windows\system32\config\software" to HKLM\Mount and modify our decode snippets as such.

    Here is my Offline Winpe Powershell De-Obfuscatory Toolâ„¢. Requires powershell.cab and reg.exe.

    Code:
    
    # Change drive path to suit your offline OS. 
    
    $OfflineHive = "c:\windows\system32\config\software"
    
    $RegKey = "HKLM:\\Mount\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion"
    
    #unsure if SOFTWARE is required while mounted offline, no time to test, I'll await the complaints. 
    #Use alternate in case my guess is correct.
    #$RegKey = "HKLM:\\Mount\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion"
    
    Function DecodeProductKey_FROMWINPE {
    
    $map="BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789";
    $value = (get-itemproperty "$RegKey").digitalproductid[0x34..0x42];
    $hex = "";$value | foreach {$hex = $_.ToString("X2") + $hex};$ProductKey = "";
    for ($i = 24; $i -ge 0; $i--) {$r = 0;for ($j = 14; $j -ge 0; $j--) {$r = ($r * 256) -bxor $value[$j];$value[$j] = [math]::Floor([double]($r/24));$r = $r % 24} ;
    $ProductKey = $map[$r] + $ProductKey;
    if (($i % 5) -eq 0 -and $i -ne 0) {$ProductKey = "-" + $ProductKey}} ;"Product Key: $ProductKey"
    
    }
    
    REG LOAD "HKLM\Mount" "$OfflineHive"
    
    DecodeProductKey_FROMWINPE
    
    REG UNLOAD HKLM\Mount

    Yes, I saw that you also asked the same question, I don't know why but it is better that I take a little distance for now ;)
    For the campside, I'll wait until there is some warmth around :sun:


    I try to avoid DotNet and powershell in my PE for the space in Ram, but Thanks for your De-Obfuscator :clap:

    v1.4.9z now supports offline key recovery simply enter drive letter.
    Offline key recovery is hidden by default, but enabled automatically in WinPE enviroment or
    when regqueryvalueex api fails. ;)

    Hi woot332,

    I've just tried your latest build 1.4.9z.
    The tool runs fine under 32bit WinPE. Is it possible to compile a 64bit version as well?
    These days most installs are 64bit UEFI so a 64bit compile would be awesome!
    Are there any requirements for WinPE? ie, do users need to add packages, WinPE-WMI/NetFX/Scripting/Powershell etc?

    Thanks for the tool!

    You need wow64 support try with Win7/8 PE SE or add wow64 capabillity with your own image.
    Also drive needs to be mounted visible in explorer shell and theres no need for extra packages
    like WMI/NetFX/Scripting/Powershell. Only native stuff like kernel.dll, ntdll.dll etc...;)

    Hi Woot332,

    Sorry for the late reply, I have not received any notification :confused:
    Great, thank you to have done it for PE too :yummy:

    it Works nicely for SKU and MSDM keys in Win7,8 PESE, I'm boring :eek: is it possible also to View and backup activation based on same Drive.

    Thanks :)

    Hi, is the download link for the "Windows 9 Product Key Viewer" still working or am I too dumb to find it correctly?
