When it comes to recovery, there are a few things that you will need to consider. These include Windows 10, Microsoft Office, and SQL Server. You will also need to determine what kind of data you have and where it is located. Once you know this, you can decide which products you want to recover.
Microsoft products that can be recovered
If you’re using a Windows PC or Mac, you might have to get a product activation key for Microsoft products such as Office. You can use ProduKey, a free tool, to retrieve the product key for Office if you can’t find it on your computer.
To retrieve your product key, you’ll need to first connect your computer to another computer. On a dead computer, you can plug the hard drive into the working one and run the key recovery utility on it.
Product keys are unique numbers that are used by software developers to protect their software from piracy. They’re usually included with the product. However, they’re also found on warranty cards, manuals and other documents.
When you buy a new Microsoft product, you can sometimes receive a sticker on the exterior of the product. This sticker contains a 25-character product key.
Windows 10
Produkey for Windows is a handy utility for viewing the current details of your operating system and installing programs that come with it. It has several features that make it one of the most popular software in the category.
One of the best parts is that it can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Using the app, you can scan all your hard drives and retrieve the product key of an installed Windows operating system. Another cool feature is that it can be accessed via command line options.
The product key is a dedicated 25-character code that you can use to install the operating system. This is a small bit of information you will need if you’re upgrading from a previous version of Windows.
Microsoft Office
If you need to reinstall or update Microsoft Office, you can use a free tool called Produkey. This application displays product keys of the software installed on your PC. You can also find product keys of other operating systems and applications. It is compatible with many versions of Windows and Mac.
The product key, or serial number, is the key to unlocking Microsoft Office and all its features. This number is usually printed on a label on the back of the CD or on a certificate of authenticity.
If you are on a Windows PC, you can get the product key by using a command. A Windows PowerShell script can be used to retrieve the key. However, the steps involved will vary depending on the version of Windows you are running.
Added support for SQL Server 2012/2014
ProduKey is a handy application that can be used to retrieve product keys from Windows installations. It also has the ability to extract partial product keys using WMI. In addition, it can load product keys from external Windows installations. Among its various features, it can now support SQL Server 2012 and 2014.
ProduKey supports Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10, along with all the x64 builds of SQL Server 2014. The tool can be downloaded from ProduKey.com.
You can use ProduKey to check the licenses of all Microsoft products, including Microsoft Office, Exchange Server, Internet Explorer, and more. For each product, it can show you its CD-Key and ProductID. When you select a product, it can also show you its name, version, and version number.
Added support for external Windows installations
Produkey re-introduced the ability to load product keys from external Windows installations. Previously it was restricted to 32 bit or 64 bit systems. The software’s most recent update also adds the novelty of displaying the correct product name, although you’ll need to enter the correct Windows version and version number for the process to work. Getting the requisite product key from an external drive is as easy as installing the app, selecting the relevant drive and pressing the “Go” button.
Compared to its predecessor, the new version boasts a slew of improvements. For example, the new Produkey can now display the Windows XP, Windows 7 and Vista product names. It can also extract a partial product key using WMI. If you are running Windows Vista or later, you will need to allow access to the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) in order to get at the goods.
