Hello Experts,
I would like to seek your help regarding my Visual Studio License key. I would like to know how to find
the licese key. I am new so I try to look into the registry as such
I get lost on I don't know where I need to go to look for the licensekey under Visual Studio -> 14.0.
Could you help?
Besides the looking at the registry , is there any other way to find the license key; for example, running a cmd line
or something ele that may you show me.
Thank you Experts for the helps.

Licenses are in
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Licenses
See VSKeyExtractor - Program.cs for the different versions
Thank you so much for the direction on where to look for the license key.
I am having Visusal Studio 10 and Visual Studio 14.0. I see there are so many license key under Licenses
I don't know which one that I need to look for Visual Studio 10.0 , and Visual Studio 14.0
Many Thanks,
I don't know which one that I need to look for Visual Studio 10.0 , and Visual Studio 14.0
"10.0" is VS 2010
"14.0" is VS 2015
2015 is in the posted source
For 2010, you could use a tool like Procmon to trace registry accesses
Thank you so much.
May I ask which license belong to VS 2010 and VS 2014 since there are so many of them in Hexadecimal and I can not figure out which Hexadecimal belong to VS 2010 and VS 2014
Is it 096EFabb-6EBF ...?
VS 2014 does not exist; as I said, "14.0" is VS 2015, then for 2015, see the GUID + MPC in the source I posted
For 2010, I also explained in the comment above

Hi @minh tran ,
As Castorix31 said, the 14.0 means the Visual Studio 2015, the license key of Visual Studio 2015 is 4D8CFBCB-2F6A-4AD2-BABF-10E28F6F2C8F.
Sincerely,
Anna

I got the license key for my visual studio as shown below in my photo. Since I am new, I apolorize for asking a "Dumb question" regarding using this License key for a new installation of Visual Studio 2015 in a new machine.
Can I use this license key 4D8CFBCB-2F6A-4AD2-BABF-10E28F6F2C8F for the new Visual Studio 2015 installation in my new machine ? If I can use this, would the license key 4D8CFBCB-2F6A-4AD2-BABF-10E28F6F2C8F always THE SAME on every new machines ?
