Find registration key
I have a working system with Visual Studio 5 running on it. But I need to re-install Visual Studio 5 on a new computer and I've lost the registration key thats needed to do the install. I have the discs, just not the CD lable that had the key on it.
Is there any way to find out what the key was that I used when I originally installed it on my old system? It's not listed when I do a help-about in Visual Studio. I've tried key-finder and several other similar program with no success. They find all sorts of product keys for my other MS products, but not for Visual Studio. Any ideas?

I've tried Belarc and ProduKey... no luck. The VB5 key is a 10-digit key... not like the ones used in Office and other MS apps....

Mega Key Viewer did not find it either.....
OK this should work

Actually product-key.com was one of the first one's I tried... but it seems to only find Visual Studio keys for 2008 and greater... It did not find my VB5 key.
