Good morning software seekers!Today's software is designed to alter the user's computing life a little easier by retrieving activation and registration keys from more than 140+ supported programs. Along with these the company tells us that that the registration information includes usernames; the company that made the software; product ID and the authorization key. If this software works as claimed you can then export the data to HTML; TXT; or CSV (comma separated value,) formats giving you a nice tidy list of all your software when the time comes to reinstall everything again - as it inevitably does. Publisher: Recover KeysSupported Languages: EnglishSystem Requirements: Windows 2000/ME/NT/2003 Server/XP/VistaAdditional Requirements: NoneTested on: Windows XP Pro. GUI
Notably the company's web place says nothing about itself who they are; how long they've been in operation - not even any communicate details are given (object for support,) nada. To me this is a red flag and I had to query who these populate are who chose not to identify themselves. Just in case. I ran the software inside my sandbox in case it was bundled with any virii or trojans. Taking a second look at their overview. I noticed that the developer said,
So change surface though there is no company involved perhaps the developer is kosher after at all but threw up a minimalistic web site and developers aren't always the best web site designers. ;)Feeling a little more confident in the product. I launched the software outside of to find that when the interface actually appeared it had already listed some of the software I had installed. However. I wasn't impressed at all (see main screen shot above,) as it only found:
6 software titles! 6 out of - what was it - oh yes.. "over 140+ programs." Well I guess I had a mind trip somewhere because I experience that I undergo well over 140 software titles on my machine. The list of supported titles includes the Adobe products. Really? Well I own which includes quite a few of their software titles - yet it didn't even detect one. Further to that it didn't change surface find its own key! This isn't looking good - not good at all. What I don't understand is that if the software manages to scan a user's system and match any titles to what it supports why can't it simply scan your programs and report back the information? I'm no registry hit but I've seen other programs manage this function quite easily. Settings:There are no settings - other than to decide which of the available columns you'd like to show. This function is located in the believe menu which is an odd displace for it to be considering that most of us would expect this answer to be under Settings/Options. But while we're on the affect let's examine the latter further. Choosing the columns that one wants to see is a rather a neat answer that supports drag`n`displace. A small pop-up box appears with column headers that the user can drag to the lay chosen. Similarly one can change the request of the columns by dragging their headers to where the user prefers to see it. Printing:The print catch function is very nice with a great show of your summon. If there are multiple pages thumbnails representing these are found in a column to the left of the check. You can either click on the thumbnail to see the preview or on a numbered tab at the bottom of the current page you're viewing. Interestingly when your enter prints it has a notice at the bottom saying. "Please do not overlap this page with anyone due to copyright infringement." You can create by mental act that if you did share it with someone unscrupulous they would be able to download software and using your information enter each call illegally. A change state add at the top right of the check returns you to the normal interface again. Tech.. Support:The help file is non-existent. The only compose to any kind of help was tech give and who wants to email tech give every measure you need to experience something? However contact was made with the developer about the lack of programs the software found and here is his response:
"Software titles is mostly added by request. Initially after release program had around 100 software titles and other was added by users requests. Please send me your list of software which RK doesn’t support and you want to get act keys from and I will add them. Recover keys also comes with auto-updater so you will not be to reinstall it.... give@recover-keys comThank you,Ostap"
Well at least we have a name to go with their tech support email address! So I ordain send the other 200+ titles (to Ostap,) that I currently undergo installed on my forge and run another evaluate after he includes them. I must say that if that test also runs fast then we're in business. Features:
Price: USD$19.95This is a ludicrous amount for today's product: Recover Keys. At the moment it may be worth only $10 at beat. Summary:While the software doesn't require all that much except a few bells and whistles it does still be an internal help file that people can refer to. The help file should also include explanations of the information that it finds for those that are not too sure with registry items. This program does not do all that it claims to do; Recover Keys doesn't find all the programs that it says it supports. As I said earlier. I have the entire Adobe Suite but the software failed to report even one Adobe title. Recommendation:None at this inform. This product is obviously still in its infancy and should not have been released as commercial software yet. It is a simple schedule that should include more features to give the user better results. At the moment there are only a few supported programs and it can't even find all of those.
