How to make a Registry Script for a Product Key in Note Pad

[Daniel Marsh]

I read in a book it is possible to do this for Windows 11 while browsing at the library the other day.

Thanks all,
Daniel

This is what I found in that book, what does it mean?
What computer language is it?
where do I download the free software?
How do I run the function?
Should I load the Program name in the Chars string?
How does one open the Registry to find out what is there? Back it up and recover before playing around?

Thanks, Daniel

How to make a Registry Script for a Product Key in Note Pad:

Function ConvertToKey(Key)
Const KeyOffset=52
i = 28
Chars = "BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789"
Do
Cur = 0
x = 14
Do
Cur = Cur * 256
Cur =(x + KeyOffset) = (Cur \ 24) And 255
Cur = Cur Mod 24
x = x - 1
Loop While x >= 0
KeyOutPut = Mid(Chars, Cur + 1, 1) & KeyOutPut
If (((29-i) Mod 6) = 0 ) And ( i <> -1) Then
i = i - 1
KeyOutput= "-" & KeyOutput
Endif
Loop While i>= 0
ConvertToKey = KeyOutput
End Function

Save as productkey.vbs

At a cmd which opens the Command Prompt like in DOS

Type this command
wmic path SoftwareLicensingService get OA3xOriginalProductKey

looks like something you'd create in a text document then save as a different file extension (.vbs) .. not sure what it would do tho.

Windows key + X should give you the command prompt among other things.
