A couple of options listed here:

Magical Jelly is the best product key finder for Windows. It’s free and portable, hence you can use it without installation or modifying the Windows registry. It can be used to extract the product keys of paid software like Microsoft Office, Microsoft Visual Studio, Adobe Photoshop etc.

and

WinkeyFinder is another great program to find the CD keys of installed software as well as the operating system. You can use this program to

  • Find product keys of Windows XP, Vista, Windows 2003, Windows 98 and Windows ME editions
  • Find serial keys of Microsoft Office 2000, 2003 and Microsoft 2007.
  • Change or copy the volume serial number.
  • View .NET key.

You could try ProduKey from NirSoft. Its an app for listing Microsoft licence keys, however I don't think it'll work if your copy of Visual Studio was pre-pidded, i.e. it came from say an MSDN account.

If you go into regedit and browse to the following path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftVisualStudio9.0Registration.

The Product Key can be found in the ProductID Registry Key.

Hope that helps!

I've had positive experiences with Belarc Advisor http://www.belarc.com/Programs/advisor.exe. It gives out a neat list of software installed on your pc with Keys and I generally archive this on a secure cloud so even if My pc crashes, I can still get a registered copy of all the software installed.

Today its even possible to have the entire image of your installation archived so that You get a clean PC with the set of licenses refreshed on installed anytime you want one!

I own a legitimate retail version of Windows 7 serial key. I upgraded my computer to Windows 10.

My friend built a new computer and he has no Windows license. Since I won't use Windows 7 anymore, can I give my license to him, while keeping my free Windows 10?

Your Windows 7 license won't become invalid by updating to Windows 10. However, it is also part of your Windows 10 license, so you are only allowed to have one Windows 10 or one Windows 7 installation at a time with one key.

When I upgrade a preinstalled (OEM) or retail version of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 license to Windows 10, does that license remain OEM or become a retail license?

If you upgrade from a OEM or retail version of Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1 to the free Windows 10 upgrade this summer, the license is consumed into it. Because the free upgrade is derived from the base qualifying license, Windows 10 will carry that licensing too.

Your Windows 7 license will always be valid and will not be changed or deactivated because of the upgrade to Windows 10: you'll be able to install or restore Windows 7 again in case you'll need to do that (provided that you've the Windows 7 installation DVD
