Depending on how you acquired the software, your key is likely located in one of these places:

If you registered your copy with Encore or Broderbund, log into their legacy customer portals. Note: Encore’s older support site was decommissioned, but some archives exist via the Wayback Machine.

If Mavis Beacon is already installed but you need the key to reinstall on a new PC, you can use a free tool like by NirSoft. This scans your installed software and reveals the saved product key. This is legal because it only reads your own registry – you are not cracking or bypassing anything.

Look for a sticker on the back of the CD sleeve or inside the plastic case.
