You purchased a licensed program, worked on it for quite a long time, but for some reason it stopped functioning, and upon opening it requires you to enter a key, or an activation code. How to be? How do I find the program key?
Instructions
Step 1
The operating system key can be viewed on the computer itself. To do this, go to the "Control Panel" through the "Start" menu. Next, open the System and Maintenance tab, then select the System tab. This tab contains all the information about the technical characteristics of your computer, including the operating system key. If you installed the program from a disk, then its key is written on the box or the license agreement. You just need to take them and look at the program code. This is usually a twenty-digit combination of letters and numbers arranged in groups.
Step 2
But it also happens that the disc is lost by you. Therefore, you cannot see the program key. How to be in this case? The way out is simple. You can find the key through the search engines Rambler, Google, Yandex and others. To do this, just enter a query containing the name of the program. The search engine will find options, and you just have to choose the key suitable for the program. It is also worth noting that cybercriminals often hide various malicious programs in such files, which, after the file is installed, are activated in the system. Therefore, scan all downloaded files with antivirus software.
Step 3
You can also visit the official website of the software vendor. Make a request to the support service with a request to recover the key for your program. Some software vendors host keys on their sites. Then just register on the site and download the key. As a rule, for recovery you will need the email address that was provided during registration.
Step 4
If none of the actions helped, then purchase a new program or another activation key on the official website of the service provider. However, you will have to pay a certain amount again to officially use the license key from the manufacturer.
