Get the serial number you need ! (For Certain Things)




1)

Go to Google.




2)

Use Keyword as "Product name" 94FBR





3)

Where, "Product Name" is the name of the item you want to find the serial
number for.




4)

And voila - there you go - the serial number you needed.





HOW DOES THIS
WORK?




Quite simple really. 94FBR is part of a Office 2000 Pro cd key that is widely
distributed as it bypasses the activation requirements of Office 2K Pro. By
searching for the product name and 94fbr, you guarantee two things. 1) The pages
that are returned are pages dealing specifically with the product you're wanting
a serial for. 2) Because 94FBR is part of a serial number, and only part of a
serial number, you guarantee that any page being returned is a serial number
list page.



See these example searches:














Code:






"Photoshop 7"+94FBR

"Age of Mythology"+94FBR

"Nero Burning Rom 5.5"+94FBR
