Windows 7 Product Key Checker

Windows 7 Product Key Checker is a feather-light and portable piece of software that verifies product information based on the Windows product key entered by the users, in order to reveal details such as the product ID and license type. It does not include complex features or configuration settings, so it can be handled by all types of users.

Portability advantages

As there is no installation involved, you can extract the program files to any part of the hard disk and just click the executable to run. Another possibility is to save Windows 7 Product Key Checker to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any computer with minimum effort and no previous installers.
An important aspect worth taking into account is that the Windows registry does not get updated with new entries, and no extra files are created on the disk, thus leaving no traces behind after its removal.

Clear-cut interface and options

The GUI is user-friendly, based on single window with a plain and simple structure that provides immediate access to all available options. All you have to do is type or paste the Windows product key to find out its corresponding product, extended, activation, edition and crypto IDs, along with the license type, as well as click a button to view results.
Unfortunately, Windows 7 Product Key Checker does not implement buttons for printing data, copying it to the Clipboard or exporting it to file. However, selected text can be copied using the global hotkey or context menu entry. There are no other noteworthy options provided by this piece of software.
