Vista Product Key Finder ?

I am running Vista Ultimate x64. I installed it in April but didn't have success with it. Now 3 months later I am trying it again. When I went to register the activation key it stated that the key was already in use. So, I had to call MS support to get another key. The lady gave me another key and told me it was good for three installs. I did not write the key down. What I need is a free utility that will pull that entire key from windows vista ultimate x64. Any help? I tried several that did not work ( jelly bean keyfinder didn't).

Which Version of Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder? Regular v1.51 or Beta v2.0 Beta 2½?

If you tried both, then try

ProduKey v1.06

Can't get any of those utilities to pull it. Might have to do with a x64 OS

Windows Product Key Viewer v1.02 FREE!

Windows Product Key Viewer is a free utility that will display the installed Windows Product Key (cd key) and other important Windows system information. Our Windows Product Key Viewer works with all Windows operating systems (95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, 2003, XP, Vista), 32-bit and 64-bit. We allow you to save this information to a text file, copy the key code or print the Windows informaiton for later use. Including the Windows product key, we also display the full Windows version, service packs, product id, installation date and time, registered user, VMWare and organization and the current Windows uptime.

Windows Product Key Viewer is great if you ever need to find out your Windows product (CD) key. Windows does not provide a way to view the installed product key. If you have lost your key or the registration card that it is printed on, you are out of luck. Re-installing Windows requires you to have the original product key. Fortunately you have our Windows Product Key Viewer to help. Click here to download Windows Product Key Viewer v1.02 .

Try "Windows Product Key Viewer" v1.02

My apologies for giving wrong information. I didn't consider the x64 part.
