Sometimes you'll need to retrieve your SQL Server Product Key from an existing installation on your Client or Server machine: the most common scenario takes place when you have an old Server to move or relocate and no one around you seem to remember where the license are Luckily enough, you can easily get this information back thanks to this neat PowerShell script made by Jacob Bindslet :.
Pay close attention, though, if you're using Sql Server or Sql Server you'll have to make some small modifications to that code. For Sql Server you need to replace two lines of code.
In details, replace line 5 with the following line :. And also replace line 16 with the following line thanks to gprkns for pointing it out :. You can also take a look of the complete script code for Sql Server at the following link.
For Sql Server , Microsoft moved the DigitalProductID node to the actual instance name in the registry, so you will need to replace line 5 with something similar to the following depending on your installation :. As you can see there's a lot of stuff regarding your SQL Server installation, most of them you should know already, the latter being the Product Key.
Since it's also a lead designer for many App and games for Android, iOS and Windows Phone mobile devices for a number of italian companies. I love the idea. I need this to work. Any idea why? Here is the error.
Same result on a Windows Server R2 and R2 machine. Both have SQL Server installed upon them. Cannot index into a null array. It worked. Any other ideas? You were on the right track, but for Sql Server you still have to use the old-format regPath. I updated the post with the proper mods to apply in order for it to work with Sql Server Please let me know if it solves your issue. Changing the regkey is not enough by itself. Sorry no SQL to test that mod. Thanks for your valuable feedback!
Thanks xzwang! After changing the script to match that registry key it all went well. There are validation errors on this page. Click OK to close this dialog box. Review errors at the bottom of the setup page, then provide valid parameters or click Help for more information. I still have no working solution. I get the following error: Cannot index into a null array. The NullArray error went away and it produced a valid key once this was changed.
This is an old post but for those who look back and ready this I suggest validating the existence of the path before giving up. Find yourself a licence of Landsweeper and once the server is scanned click on the server and go in: Software — Licence Both windows server with SQL licences I have had licence displayed there. But hey, to each his own. If you would be so kind. Posting the full script would be very helpful.
I currently have no experience with powershell scripting, and am just trying to get reporting services on my machine. The above decoding method will not work for and above. Microsoft changed the encoding after SQL. Here is a working script for SQL Server that I had to dig out of the internet after hours of searching and troubleshooting.
