Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder is a Hoax
↓ Sponsored Links
It sound too good to be true, the original author for the Brute Force Windows Vista key generator confess that his program - Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder is a hoax. According to him the keygen do not generate any keys and it was meant to be a joke, but the funny part is Adrian Kingsley-Hughes of ZD Net claim that he found two Windows Vista key using the program, which is oddly enough that someone must be the real prankster.
My best guess would be the original author might have freak out that Bill Gates and gang is going to take legal action and sue the hell out of him, thus the best solution would be to call it a joke and avoid the lime light. Who is the real prankster? Find out yourself by downloading the program.

March 6th, 2007Apparently there is a misunderstanding here, “Magical Jelly Bean’s Keyfinder” is not a keygen, but is simply an app that finds the already-entered cd-key for the installed microsoft windows operating system incase you forgot or lost your cd-key, it just extracts the entered key from the registry. it has been around for a long time and i have personally used it numerous times, almost always successfully, and on machines running Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, and Server 2003. It is also known to work with Vista.
This IS the same program shown in the screenshot, but it is not used for anything illegal, it is not a brute force cracking tool, it merely extracts your already-entered and legitimate cd-key.
heres a link to the program.

July 16th, 2007Looks like a very big misunderstanding as I have used ” Magical Jelly Bean’s Keyfinder” to check the existing XP CD Key and had no dramas at all. It even allows you to change the CD Key if necessary.
No way is this program a Key Generator, so the opinion of Geckofly in this matter is simply wrong

August 5th, 2007I’ve tested this program on three of my systems (with known keys), and it never reports the correct key, so I’ve never used it.
I just tried it now on a customer machine, and once again, it reports a key that isn’t even close to the one on on the certificate.

August 25th, 2007To MiM. In the FAQ section of Magical JellyBean’s website it notes that a PC’s certificate and actual key in use can be different because the PC in question is most likely loaded with an image from the factory. Every time I have used the program it has reported the key that I entered when I installed windows. The COA that is on your machine is for reload purposes only.

August 25th, 2008The Magical JellyBean windows key finder only shows what key is installed in windows, I can’t believe some of you can’t tell the difference between the one printed on your certificate and the one that is in windows… THAT MEANS YOUR COPY OF WINDOWS ISN”T USING THE KEY ON THE CERTIFICATE. GET a clue.
Also, the program does not change CD keys, yet every google search in the world tells you to use it.
This program has done nothing to help the world.

September 23rd, 2008Jamster, I found a use for this program less than 10 minutes ago. Had to re-install a legit copy of XP Home onto someone else’s machine. I didn’t have the CD key handy. Went to magicaljellybean.com, downloaded the latest version of the software, wrote down the key it gave me.
It does everything it promised to do. Nothing more, nothing less.
Five stars!
