ProduKey
Hello ,
I have registered for this forum for a long time, but I rarely post it. To this day I have encountered problems, but I cannot find a topic corresponding to my problem. Please allow me to drive new miles ...
When I run produkey.exe in Windows 7, for some types of license keys, the "Product key was not found" message is displayed. I don't know where the problem is? And I found that the Windows product key successfully displayed in the ProduKey utility is different from the product key on the Windows CD. Is there a professional who can tell me the reason, I'm really confused.
I look forward to your reply, thank you very much！

There are no windows disks at all any version that have the key.
The OEM SLP key in bios will not be the same as the COA sticker key.

A COA, or “Certificate of Authenticity” is the sticker located on a computer system that has a 25-digit license key for the Windows Operating System.
Windows 8 and 10 systems have the key in BIOS and do not have a COA sticker.
