# WINProductKey
This application is a simple tool built with Rust and Tauri to retrieve the Windows product key from the system registry. The `.exe` file provided is compiled to work on Windows 7, 10, and 11. **Please note that this method of retrieving the product key generally works from Windows 7 onwards, specifically for Pro and Home versions**. It uses Tauri to provide a minimal web-based interface and Rust for accessing and processing the registry data.
## Features
- Retrieve the Windows product key from the registry.
- UI using Tauri's WebView.
- Lightweight and fast.
## Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:
- **Rust**: You need to have Rust installed on your machine. You can install Rust using [rustup](https://rustup.rs/).
- **Bun**: Tauri requires Bun or Node.js for building the frontend part. You can install Bun from [here](https://bun.sh/).
- **Tauri CLI**: Install the Tauri CLI by running:
```bash
bun add -D @tauri-apps/cli
```
## Installation
### 1. Clone the repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/VdanielVPL/WINProductKey.git
cd WINProductKey
```
### 2. Install dependencies
```bash
# Install frontend dependencies using Bun
bun install
```
### 3. Build the application
```bash
# Build the Tauri app optimized for release
bunx tauri build
```
```bash
# or run app for development
bunx tauri dev
```
### 4. Run the application (if release version)
in `./src-tauri/target/release` double click on `.exe` file
## Downloading the Executable
If you do not wish to build the application yourself, you can download the pre-built executable directly from the [Releases](https://github.com/VdanielVPL/WINProductKey/releases) section of the GitHub repository.
1. Navigate to the [Releases](https://github.com/VdanielVPL/WINProductKey/releases) page.
2. Download the latest version of the executable (`.exe`) file.
3. Run the downloaded executable to retrieve your Windows product key.
## Usage
When you run the application, it will display a simple UI that shows you your product key.
## How It Works
This program reads the Windows product key from the registry by accessing the following registry path:
```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\DigitalProductId
```
The key is stored in a binary format, which the Rust backend decodes into a readable product key.
### Key Files
- **`src-tauri/src/main.rs`**: The Rust backend, which handles registry access and product key decoding.
- **`src/main.ts`**: Simple script calling Rust for product key.
- **`src-tauri/tauri.conf.json`**: Tauri configuration file.
