External. How to enter the serial number of CryptoPro - Kontur.Extern How to find out the license number of CryptoPro

Good afternoon, dear readers and blog guests, today we continue to administer the cryptopro csp 4.0 encryption program, last time we solved the "installer service could not be accessed" problem and the blue screen with error 800B0001. Today we are faced with the task of how find out the license key in the installed CryptoPro csp 4.0, for example, on Windows 10. Previously, everything was simple, I went into a special snap-in "License Management" and everything, immediately saw it, in the fourth version, the developers complicated everything, but we are already experienced computer users, and we can easily get around it.

The most effective method to determine the csp 4.0 license key code in Windows is through the Windows registry. It contains absolutely all information about all installed programs, the registry can be compared to a catalyzed library, where everything is on the shelves. Open regedit and find the section there

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Installer \ UserData \ S-1-5-18 \ Products \

In this section there will be many folders with incomprehensible names in the form of numbers and letters in a chaotic sequence. Among the bottom you need to find the following values:

  • 05480A45343B0B0429E4860F13549069 \ InstallProperties is a cryptopro 3.9
  • 7AB5E7046046FB044ACD63458B5F481C \ InstallProperties is cryptopro 4

On the right side, you need to find the ProductID line, its value and there is a cryptopro license key, you can copy it and transfer it to another employee or reinstall the program on another computer using it.

I hope the article was useful to you and you have an even better understanding of how the Windows operating system functions and works.

Entering the serial number depends on which certificate is used for the job. Since the end of April 2014, Kontur.Extern subscribers can be issued certificates with an integrated license. An indication that the license is built-in is the presence of the line "Limited license Crypto-Pro" on the "Composition" tab in the public key of the certificate (see).

If the certificate with an embedded license

The public key must be set to the private key (see instructions).

The workplace must have a version of Crypto-Pro of at least 3.6 R2 (3.6.6497) installed. You can check the version of the encryption provider by opening the Start menu> Control Panel>

You do not need to have a valid workplace license to work with such certificates.

If the certificate is without a built-in license (purchased a serial number for a workplace)

First of all, you should find an appendix to the agreement "License to use the CryptoPro CSP software product". It will contain a serial number, which must be entered in one of the ways described below.

If this application is not available, you need to contact at the place of connection. If you cannot find the contacts of the service center, you should contact technical support at [email protected] , indicating the essence of the problem and the TIN and KPP of the organization.
