Hi I purchased Windows 7 Student Edition a long time ago now. A recent hard drive failure has meant a clean install but I cannot for the life of me find the product key. I assumed it would be on an email from digital river, since I downloaded it from them, but I can find no emails from them. Does anyone know how I might go about finding the key?
Thanks
Hi,
Thats correct, you would have been emailed the licence key - have you checked your SPAM or JUNK folder to see if the email is in there? You might have to contact them directly and provide proof of purchase.
I stand to be corrected, but unfortunately, I don't think there is another way.
Regards,
Golden

My product key was on an email sent to me.
You can get help at the link above using your email address.
Ah found it! I completely forgot it had to be registered with my university email address so needed to dig that out.
Back up your key with your bank account numbers.
Once installed and set up as you like, save a Win7 backup image externally to use in place of reinstalls and avoid having to reactivate. Twenty minutes and you're back up and running. Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup
