Yes this worked but this only finds after we install but i dont have the key to install
Then you'd need the COA sticker (usually on the CD case or manual (back cover))...
Or it could be stamped on the side of the system (it's a hollographic label, in case you weren't aware)
No i dont have any of these.I just have the cd without the case
I don't believe you'll be able to then - that key is necessary to use the software in production...
            Hi bsharath
               CD keys are not kept in installation CDs and thats why no way/program to export key from CD. If this CD is a retail copy, then CD key should be on a sticker on CD Case. If it is a VLK, then you need Volume License key, which should be retrieved from reseller.
          Also some computer technicians paste this sticker to computer case. Check back, top, sides of the computer case if any stiker is pasted.
Thanx.
