These were keys created in the 90s on probably 3 computers ago. I looked through some old CDs that I had laying around but they didn't have the saved keys. I don't use these keys anymore and having in over a decade. In fact the email address and even the entire ISP are long gone now. I was just thinking if I could revoke them I would but it doesn't look like that is possible.
