Jamster, 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!

The 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.

To 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.

I’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.
