 Getting the Windows 95 Serial Number - CD-KEY

Does anyone have any idea (code) to obtain the Windows 95 CD-KEY or
the Serial Number created by it, using VB40 32 Bit?

Why??? You must have it if you bought the software, and you need only to
use it during install?

Don't count on using that for copy protection; the CD Key and the resulting
ID number are not unique.  Whole batches of Win95 discs have identical CD
keys.

Hell, I can look at it on the My Computer Properties, but I want to be
able to get it via code, part of a security program I'm writing,
in-house stuff. And thanks for not giving any info.

Hi:

 The Serial number is recorded in the registry data base under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/microsoft/currentVersion/ProductId

   (Note the CD key is part of the serial number)

Microsoft has examples of reading the registry, using VB, on the
developers section of their web site.

 Good luck
