Hi,
I'm not sure this is of immediate help, but perhaps it might prompt someone else to come forward with a solution.
I have read that the BBB product key display is indicative of volume licences where the key is not stored in the registry : this is why tools like Belarc and others can't find it.
Where else could the key be stored? JBs Powershell: Retrieveing the Windows Product Key Quote: IMPORTANT!!!
When the product key is not stored in the Registry (like in volume licenses of Windows 7), ANY!!! Product Key Viewer will display BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB-BBBBB See if these steps will at leats allow you to view part of the key:
Click Start, then type cmd
Right click CMD and then click Run as administrator
At the command prompt type slmgr -dli and hit enter

Do those numbers correspond to the key you thought you got from Belarc? Although I see you have edited that post....
