If you are referring to a QT 7 Pro registration key, you may or may not be able to access it. The information cited above is out of date for the most part. About a year or so ago, the Apple Webmaster(s) dropped the "Downloadable Software Purchases" page for the users' Store Account page without any notice. This was the page used to link users to software downloads and store registration keys. Luckily, someone found a "back door" to the US Apple Store users' "Download Software Purchases" page but Apple slammed this door also by the end of 2011—once again without any warning to users. Those who saw the handwriting on the wall after the fist loss of access download copies of all software and keys for local backup "just in case." I, for one, am glad I did so.
In any case, the most current "QuickTime Prop Key: Retrieving a lost key" (Article HT2376, Last Modified on June 06, 2012), implies information may be either still available or that a replacement key might possibly be capable of being generated by way of the statement that "You can only retrieve a lost QuickTime Pro key if you purchased it through the web." and that "In most cases, the key will be identical to the key you lost." Unfortunately, accessibility is only supposed to be available through the Apple Store user account's "View Order History" page which limits the order history list to just the last 18 months. Since my last QT 7 Pro Key purchase was over 18 months ago, I have no way to test access other than buying and additional key which I do not need. (Can any recent QT 7 Pro purchasers confirm current access on this page?)
