I see the "software" and the massive size it is
[05/25/2013 08:17 AM 72,876,032 software]
But I might be running the "app" incorrectly, cause it does not read the key, just says "unknown' on the product key.
But I am pointing it to the correct location which is
C:\Windows.old\windows\system32\config\
