I have tried Magical Jelly Bean Key Finder but will only show on full version

Any suggestions

Thanks
Try Nirsoft's product key software or this may work in powershell

Get-WmiObject -query 'select * from SoftwareLicensingService').OA3xOriginalProductKey

Key: ends with ?????

just to check the Key I use for Download is distinct from the license key.
