Serial numbers for computer software have a specific pattern, which allows the installer or application to detect whether or not it is a legit key. A very simple example would be that every serial number has exactly three occurances of the number 5 in it - so 1932-1253-2319-5512 would be a working serial number. In a real-life scenario the relationships between the numbers would of course be more complicated.
The shipped software contains an algorithm that checks whether or not a serial is valid. The software creator has a piece of software that allows him to create serial numbers for the product.
To create a keygen, a cracker group (people specialized in breaking copy protection schemes) analyze the program executable to find the part that checks the serial. They then reconstruct the algorithm to create the serials based on the checking code. The finished keygen is an app applying the algorithm to create a serial number.
Sometimes keygens do not really contain the algorithm, but rather a list of valid serial numbers, of which one is selected at random.
The keygen for Windows xp in the later service packs was more complicated, because Microsoft checked not only whether a key was valid, but also whether it had been sold with a copy and was not already in use on another computer. The keygen sent mass requests to the Microsoft server to check whether or not it was a working key.
no they r not. they promote piracy.
mostly through torrents with cracks and keygens

Mostly 3rd party application (Programs that are not made by BIG companies like Microsoft, Apple, Sony, Dell etc... but those that are made by people at home) these are usually KeyGens, Emulators, fake programs (like a fake Microsoft Office, Adobe etc...)
Keygens do not work sadly. You must buy the game or torrent it.

You need to buy the game to get one, or use a keygen. I'm not sure if copies are still in circulation, so try looking for keygens, most work.
Asking for CDkeys or keygens is illegal, and most cdkeys cannot be used again.
WikiAnswers does not provide codes, keys, keygens or cracks. Contact the publisher for assistance.
WikiAnswers will not assist in piracy or provide keys, codes or keygens.
You can but it's illegal. They are done through keygens, or key generators. Most of them have viruses though, and if caught you can be fined steeply.
No, Mojang will always find out and change their website to make them useless
WikiAnwers does not provide codes, keys, keygens or cracks. If you have lost your code then you will need to contact customer service at EAGames.
Many hacks, cracks, keygens and activators have viruses. I recommend downloading Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and scanning the file.
You basically use them for registration for something... or you could get them from somewhere illegally and then put in the registration information that the keygen gave you. They could essentially be used for good.. or bad
