Whether you are reloading your machine, or someone else’s, at some point you might need to recover your Windows 2000/XP or Office XP/2003, etc. serial number because you no longer have the original packaging. If this sounds familiar, then look no farther than Magical Jelly Bean.
Magical Jelly Bean is a simple, yet useful, application which allows you to recover any of the following serial numbers from your current install:
- Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/Server 2003/Windows Vista
- Office 97/Office XP/Office 2003
Simply run the application, copy the serial numbers you need and store them in a safe place.
