Extract visual studio 2017 product key

Question

I have installed Visual Studio 2017 Professional with a product key. Now I would like to install VS 2017 Professional on a different machine. How can I retrieve the product key used in the first installation?

I googled and found VS no longer stores keys directly in the registry. Instead, there's a new way to extract the key. I followed the links below:

However, I could not find the exact location where the product key is stored.

I have answered this in Retrieve Visual Studio 2017 (Enterprise) Key from privateregistry . Note that you will need to change the registry path to end with 2 (Professional) instead of 0 (Enterprise).
