Don't Lose the Serial Number

Maybe you want to reformat your hard drive or you just bought a
new computer and need to reinstall a program from the CD, but
can't find the little card with the serial number on it.

Before you reformat or erase the drive on your old system. Just
go to Help/About... in each program and the serial number should
be there. You could type up a list, but since you still have the
CD, just get permanent marker (preferably one made for marking
CDs) and write the number on the label side of the disk.

Now it doesn't matter what happens to the little card, book, or
whatever the number was on. As long as you have the disk, you
have the number.
