WinPKR Version 2

[KM@ Dave]

Hi guys,

It's been a while since an update because of version 2, as it was so far ahead of scedule, I decided not release any more minor builds. For those who don't know what WinPKR is... It's a technicians handy tool to view/backup the OS Product Key and view License, OS and Computer information. I only release this program on Technibble and it's completely free.

v2.0.1 (Major)(Fix) Changes made:

1.) Completely new UI with professional look
2.) Backend code has been completely rewritten
3.) WinPKR now uses advanced methods to retrieve Operating System and Computer information
4.) Application check has been readded
5.) Tabs added containing more detailed Computer information
6.) Resource usage monitor added
7.) Readme/Disclaimer to be downloaded with WinPKR
8.) This version of WinPKR is does not support Windows XP
9.) WinPKR now depends on .NET Framework 2, not .NET Framework 4
10.) WinPKR now includes functions to check if Windows is activated and how it has been activated

Fix #1. Broke the Product Key retrieval process (Slaps self)
Fix #2. Load time cut by 8+ seconds

Download it here

Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, David.

I would love to try it out, but I'm not signing up for a filesonic account to get it.

You don't have to sign up for an account. Just click on the "Slow Download" button, wait 30secs, enter a captcha and then you can get it.

Haven't tried it yet, so have no opinion of WinPKR.

But not at all impressed with FileSonic.

I swear the bottom half of that page wasn't showing earlier! The bottom of the page were all of the Paypal boxes... but Alas! It is working now!

On to the program... looks good! Simple, effective, and professional looking.

It reported everything correctly, however, under Processor/Graphics it lists:

Model: LogMeIn Mirror Driver
Video RAM: Loading...
Driver Version: 7.1.542.0

... which IS enumerated first alphabetically in Device manager, then comes NVIDIA...

Perhaps check for more than one Video card?

Hmm that's wierd, I did tell the code to look past mirror drivers etc, must be reading incorrectly from WMI.

I'll install LogMeIn, see whats going on and work on a fix.

I get two not found alerts before the program loads.

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and as soon as I double click the executable Windows tell me WinPKR has stopped working and goes about searching for a solution to my problem.

What OS are you running?

Did you run as administrator, does it complain about .NET at all?
