How do I recover my lost EyeTV activation key?
Elgato have a database that knows about keys used to register an Elgato product, most keys purchased through Elgato online stores, as well as keys used to create a My EyeTV account (http://my.eyetv.com)

Key Recovery Without EyeTV Files
If you do NOT currently have a working installation of EyeTV, we would be happy to issue you a new activation key. All we ask is that you provide some proof or documentation verifying your purchase. An example of this might be a
- scanned receipt
- PDF invoice
- email confirmation
Unfortunately, we are unable to recover key information from hardware serial numbers or product registration. Please note that this technique will only work with a currently running installation of EyeTV. We cannot extract keys from incomplete installations.
If you do not have documentation available, you may need to purchase EyeTV. Our online store is available here.
