Nice tool to recover lost and forgotten keys. I had to reinstall my Windows 7. Used Recover Keys and the key retrieved was accurate.
Nice Program, however, limited in functionality. It found Microsoft and Adobe keys, but missed so many others. There doesn't appear to be a way to incorporate aftermarket software, other than it's own.
