As mentioned before, Revit tried to be independent on Windows registries in the past but gave it up recently. Revit 2011 provides some product keys in the Windows registry as talked about previously, and the Revit 2012 provides some similar:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\RAC 2012
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\Revit\2012
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Autodesk\Revit\Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012
The first and the second key and their sub keys and values still only indicate the ADLM type and the ODBX stuffs as before. The third key itself thoughtfully provides some useful information in the version 2012 rather than nothing in the version 2011.
The key provides the following value names and some sample data:
Name Data
InstallationLocation C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit Architecture 2012\
InstallationType standalone
Language English
ProductName Autodesk Revit Architecture 2012
SerialNumber 000-00000000
Version 2012 (11.03.09231)
GOOD!
The install location, install type, product language, product name, serial number, and product version all can be found reliably from a single place now about the Revit version 2012.
However, for Revit 2011 and earlier versions, some other means have to be found to retrieve similar information. We will talk about it in the next post. Stay tuned.
RevitAddinWidget provides a RegEdit Launcher which can open the registry editor with a single click in case it is necessary to inspect some keys and values of the Windows registry.
