I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled Tivo Desktop. I'd bought the upgrade in the past, but I don't remember the activation key and can't figure out how to retrieve it. Is there a way to get that activation key so I don't have to drop another 25 bucks to get a new one? Thanks!

I've uninstalled and reinstalled Tivo desktop 2.3a twice since I've upgraded it. I've never needed the key when I've reinstalled.
Open Tivo Desktop and click on 'help' and then on 'upgrade to Tivo desktop plus' and it should tell you that you have already upgraded.

He didn't just uninstall/reinstall ... he formatted the drive. The Plus key is in the registry which doesn't exist for him anymore.
You should be able to call TiVo and have them tell you your key.
