Once you have downloaded and unzipped the file, double-click on the Windows Key.vbs file to execute the script. To reveal your Product Key, which is the 20 character ID used during the installation process, simply download and execute the script provided on the second page of our Administrative Utilities Download section.

The Windows activation status section shows us if the product is activated or not, along with the Product ID:įigure 1. The information displayed under the System Information page in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 (including professional editions), includes the Windows edition, system hardware (CPU, RAM), Computer name and Windows activation status. In this article, we’ll show you how to easily download and store your Windows License Product Key inside a text file with just two clicks! In some cases, the Genuine Microsoft Label or Certificate Of Authenticity ( COA) containing the product key, is placed in an area not easily accessible by users e.g inside the battery compartment in newer ultrabooks/laptops, making it difficult to note the product key. Backing up your Windows License Product Key is essential for reinstallation of your Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 operating system.
