Get serial numbers for installed software - sccm

Question

Is it possible to get serial numbers from installed software (Adobe, Autodesk, VMWare etc.)?
From WMI I can get only MS keys - OS/Office. Is there any way to receive it from SCCM or AD?

Answer 1

There's no simple way that I know of. It would depend on each application, if you're lucky and they store the information in the registry then you can add that to software inventory, but if it's in an encrypted key file (as I suspect Adobe uses) then you're pretty much out of luck.

Answer 2

For non REG-BINARY type I use this script which reads information from csv file. So I don't need any decode manipulations.
$csv = Import-CSV "\\fs-lv-01\users$\username\Desktop\PowerShell\TSTArray.csv"
$resultsarray = #()
$target = $env:COMPUTERNAME
$hklm = "HKLM:"
$join_path = $hklm, $regPath -join "\"
Foreach ($Registry in $csv)
{
$regPath = $Registry.regPath
$regValue = $Registry.regValue
$join_path = $hklm, $regPath -join "\"
If ($Registry.regPath -ne 0)
{
$data = (Get-ItemProperty -Path $join_path -name $regValue -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).$regValue
IF ($data -ne $null)
{
$obj = New-Object Object
$obj | Add-Member Noteproperty Computer -value $target
$obj | Add-Member Noteproperty ProductKey -value $data
$obj
$resultsarray += $obj
}
}
}
$resultsarray | Export-Csv "\\fs-lv-01\users$\username\Desktop\PowerShell\TSTSerialNumbers.csv" -NoTypeInformation
The same idea for Microsoft products:
$csv = Import-CSV "\\fs-lv-01\users$\username\Desktop\PowerShell\MSArray.csv"
$resultsarray = #()
$hklm = 2147483650
$target = $env:COMPUTERNAME
Foreach ($Registry in $csv)
{
$regPath = $Registry.regPath
$regValue = $Computer_name.regValue
If ($Registry.regPath -ne 0)
{
$productKey = $null
$win32os = $null
$wmi = [WMIClass]"\\$target\root\default:stdRegProv"
$data = $wmi.GetBinaryValue($hklm,$regPath,$regValue)
$binArray = ($data.uValue)[52..66]
$charsArray = "BCDFGHJKMPQRTVWXY2346789"
## decrypt base24 encoded binary data
for ($i = 24; $i -ge 0; $i--) {
$r = 0
for ($j = 14; $j -ge 0; $j--) {
$r = ($r * 256) -bxor $binArray[$j]
$binArray[$j] = [math]::Floor([double]($r/24))
$r = $r % 24
}
$ProductKey = $charsArray[$r] + $ProductKey
if (($i % 5) -eq 0 -and $i -ne 0) {
$ProductKey = "-" + $ProductKey
}
}
$win32os = Get-WmiObject Win32_OperatingSystem -computer $target
$obj = New-Object Object
$obj | Add-Member Noteproperty Computer -value $target
$obj | Add-Member Noteproperty Caption -value $win32os.Caption
$obj | Add-Member Noteproperty OSArch -value $win32os.OSArchitecture
$obj | Add-Member Noteproperty ProductKey -value $productKey
$obj
$resultsarray += $obj
}
}
$resultsarray | Export-Csv "\\fs-lv-01\users$\username\Desktop\PowerShell\SerialNumbers.csv" -NoTypeInformation
Both scripts are tested, but I want also to get Adobe keys.. I have information about how to decode Adobe serials, but I need to test it on licensed version.
