Hey folks I've seen questions in this vein, but nothing specifically that matches my needs. I work for an it company and one of the companies we work with are getting audited by Microsoft for their licenses. They have several computers that are licensed with windows 8 but factory loaded with windows 7. Other than looking in the bios is there a way to check the windows 8 key with windows 7 loaded. I tried Belarc Advisor on my system, as my system is setup the same way, but it pulls the windows 7 license key. I need to pull the licenses from at least 5 of the machines and having to do it manually is time consuming, plus one of the Lenovo system updates has actually changed the bios and it does not show the license key in some cases. Any thought or help would be appreciated.
