Key Finder Tools

Alerts and Toolboxes

Hello,

I have been looking for a way to integrate a software key finder into simple-help. It would make our job easier when having to remote reinstall software for a user.

Does anyone have an idea the best way to do this?

Thanks all!

Hi,

my solution is GLPI and plugin FusionInventory. All open source and free.

I would also love and willing to PAY for a software license audit solution in SH. I currently use a separate 3rd party tool but would like it integrated into SH. I don’t want a separate solution like GLPI. Thanks!

Hi all.
To do this I have created a tool in the toolbox that uses nirsofts keyfinder. produkey v1.93
made a batch script:
@echo off
produkey.exe /stext produ.txt
type produ.txt

Hopefully this helps someone else get the products keys from windows machines with simplehelp toolbox.

Anyway to import the produ.txt into the notes for that machine?

In the 5.2 beta this should be possible

We are in 5.2. Any ideas?

I do not know of a way to add it to the notes automatically.
You could use the scripting api to email the code to email of your choosing, or write it to a log file on the server, or to the machine property.

I love the idea of a toolbox for running a software key retreival tool! My plan was to have it dump the output to my private SFTP server. However, Windows Defender flags ProduKey.exe as malicious when I went to test it. :frowning:

Hi David, what if at the beginning of the script you set an exclusion in Defender…
