Migrating to new PC, how do I find my key?

I am in the process of setting up a new PC running Windows 11, and I don't know how I find my old MakeMKV key. Is there a way to find it on the old PC installation, or do I have to buy a new one? The email I used when I bought the key is probably an obsolete one.

Run Regedit.
Search for "Makemkv". Hit F3 until this shows up.
It's in HKEY-USERS\..........\Software\MakeMKV listed as app_Key. Double-click it and copy&paste it to a text file. Put on a stick and use it on your new PC.
Edit: Even easier.
Run Makemkv. Click "Help" "Register" and it shows your key. Make sure to highlight everything to copy to a text file.
