Find Software License Keys on Google

Sunday, June 24, 2007

Call it the power of Google or the dumbness of various web / system administrators. Belarc software lets one backup all the software keys and licenses installed on a machine. Their are a few admins who backed up data from PCs and workstations and pushed them on the "public_html" folder of their web servers. LOL. Google crawled them and all those software licenses and keys are easily accessible to anyone.

Simple query on Google such as this will help...
"Belarc Advisor Current Profile" + "Software Licenses" + "Microsoft Office" + key:

Replace Microsoft Office in the above query with any other software for which need a key.
