You can view this information for your current running operating system, or for another operating system\/computer &#8211; by using command-line options. This utility can be useful if you lost the product key of your Windows\/Office, and you want to reinstall it on your computer. <\/p>\n<p>For normal users you need to just double click on the application and get the results directly on your screen.
