ShowKeyPlus 1.1.18.0 has been released, offering users a portable and free solution for retrieving and saving their Windows product key in case it has been lost. Losing a Windows product key can lead to significant costs, and ShowKeyPlus provides a means to recover it if you no longer have access to your installation DVD or if the key on your product sticker is unreadable.
This utility not only retrieves the product version (such as Windows 10 Pro), product ID, currently installed key, and OEM key, but it also allows users to save this information in a text file for backup, printing, or other uses. Furthermore, ShowKeyPlus can retrieve keys from a backup if the user has access to the Windows installation folder, and it can verify the validity of the product key with the installed edition of Windows.
ShowKeyPlus is capable of finding various types of keys, including OEM keys (DM, SLP, NONSLP, COA), retail keys (Full Packaged Product), and volume keys (MAK and GVLK). However, it deliberately does not retrieve MAK keys to prevent piracy.
While there are numerous utilities available that only retrieve product keys, ShowKeyPlus distinguishes itself by also offering the capability to save and verify the keys. Users should be aware that most security software may flag key-finding utilities like ShowKeyPlus as potentially harmful.
In addition to ShowKeyPlus, there are several other utilities that can help users retrieve their Windows and Office product keys, check their Windows license type, and identify the edition of Windows 10 or 11 they are using.
For users seeking to extend their knowledge on managing Windows licenses, resources are available that explain how to utilize tools like Slmgr for viewing, installing, uninstalling, and activating Windows licenses, as well as how to determine whether their license is retail, OEM, or volume-based
