A key generator, commonly abbreviated as keygen, is a computer program that generates a product key and/or serial number necessary for product activation of an application software.

A telesync (TS) is a bootleg recording of a film recorded in a movie theater, often (although not always) filmed using a professional camera on a tripod in the projection booth.
