If you like numbers, in an Administrator Command Prompt try

slmgr /dlv

which gives the OS license status. In it, is a UniqueID for
the installation itself.


Hi Paul,
Now why didn't you tell me this earlier!

You know I'm writing scores of tutorials for setting up a system, where
this should be part of the "snapshotting" step!

I need to add this wonderful command to that snapshot repertoire!
* Software licensing service version: 10.0.17134.112
* Name: Windows(R), Professional edition
* Description: Windows(R) Operating System, RETAIL channel
* Activation ID: xxx
* Application ID: xxx
* Extended PID: xxx
* Product Key Channel: Retail
* Installation ID: xxx
* Use License URL: https://activation-v2.sls.microsoft....tension=Retail
* Validation URL: https://validation-v2.sls.microsoft....WGA/slwga.asmx
* Partial Product Key: 3V66T
* License Status: Licensed
* Remaining Windows rearm count: 1001
* Remaining SKU rearm count: 1001
* Trusted time: 6/22/2018 12:00:00 AM

So while you could try searching for some of those
strings in the /dlv output, don't be surprised if
you can't find them in Regedit.


I checked with the Bing URL and none of those numbers are exact matches.
