You cannot view the key with which you activated your software in the usual way, such as the license code of the program, which is stored in the registry and can be accessed when it is launched or using other programs. Based on the license code, you can view the activation code on the official website of the program developer.

Instructions
Step 1
Download the Everest 2006 software to your computer. Install it and run it. In the main window, select the software you are interested in, the license code of which you want to find out. The information you need should appear on the right side of the window. You can also save it to a file or print it. In any case, such information is best stored not in electronic form or on removable media that you are not going to format.
Step 2
Look at the program license code on the disk if you bought it as a separate product from the computer, on the box from it, and so on. Also, information about the software product code is contained in the operating system registry. To run it, open Run from the Start menu and type regedit in the box that appears.
Step 3
Find the item responsible for the software in the directories on the left. Select the program you need, look through the folders for license information. Copy it.
Step 4
Rewrite the license code obtained using one of the above methods. Go to the site of the software developer whose activation code you are interested in. Find the point for activating and registering programs, if available on the site. Enter the license code for your software product and see the activation code available for it. This method is often convenient when the activation of the software product is available on the website.
Step 5
If this activation method is not available for your program, find out the code when reinstalling. Remove it completely through the Add or Remove Programs item in the control panel and delete the activation record, after making sure you have a license key. After installation, complete the activation by viewing the key that matches your license code. Rewrite it.
