If you have to re-install software on your PC, you need the license numbers and serial numbers of the software. If you have lost your original installation disks or neglected to write down the license information, what can you do?
A simple solution to the problem involves a little proactive detective work. Download a program like License Crawler (free on CNET at http://download.cnet.com/License-Crawler/3000-2094_4-75322092.html?tag=mncol;1). Load up the program and let it run. Save and print out the results and your software will be much safer.
License Crawler lists the license and serial number information it finds on your PC. While it may not cover all of your software, it is not limited to just Microsoft software (E.g. Windows, SQL Server, Office, etc.). It also picks up license information from other well-known brands such as Adobe, AutoCAD, Roxio, etc.
