In his lesson, 8-Bit Show and Tell demonstrate how to use a program called KeyView to hack Windows 95 keys. While breaking keys may seem like something from a hacker movie, the method entails removing and altering the product key needed to install Windows 95.
Before we continue, let me be clear that breaking software keys is normally not advised and is sometimes even prohibited. Hence, while learning about the procedure is intriguing, I would advise against really conducting it yourself.
