Here are some more Windows Installer notes taken down
when originally researching this issue on my end.
Hopefully they can be of some use to anyone researching
the issue further:
- each installation gets a GUID key identifying it
- the installation GUID key can be converted into a
corresponding product key using the following
algorithm:
def guid_to_product_key(guid):
"""guid = string in format {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}"""
parts = guid.lstrip("{").rstrip("}").split("-")
key = []
# Reverse the first 3 parts.
for p in range(3):
key.extend(reversed(parts[p]))
# Swap character pairs in remaining parts.
for part in parts[3:]:
for i in range(len(part) // 2):
key.append(part[2 * i + 1])
key.append(part[2 * i])
return "".join(key).upper()
- some Windows Installer registry keys related to a
specific installation:
Example installation GUID key:
{a37f2d73-72d1-364d-ba5d-cea430bcc040}
Example product key:
37D2F73A1D27D463ABD5EC4A03CB0C04
