Easy CD Creator 5 basic (OEM) - what's the serial number?

[dodecahedron]

i have an OEM Easy CD Creator 5 basic that came preinstalled on my computer (-> i don't have the serial key).

since an OS reinstall is pending, can anyone help me find the serial number?
is it in some location in the registry that i can copy it down (like Nero)?

TIA

Unfortunately the program converts CD key to Product key, which is totally different. That's the only info I could find in Registry...

HKCU_Software_Adaptec... You'll find it...

thanks.
i was looking at HKLM/Software/Roxio.

anyway, didn't find it where you said either...you use W2K, right? i use WXP, maybe that's why. oh well...

Nop, I've installed it on Win98SE, but it's the Platinum Edition, not an OEM. Sorry.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adaptec\Easy CD Creator\5.0]
"Installed version"="Platinum"
"Product Code"="{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}"

maybe that's it.
i was looking for a key with the word 'Product' in its name, couldn't find.

never mind, i bought and soon will receive Easy Media Creator 7 Basic. till then i'll get by.

thanks for your help anyway much appreciated.
