Yah, but I cannot write on the cd because I am blind. How does this help use who cannot see to write the key?

I hate that! Before you reformat or erase the drive on your old system, go to Help/About... in each program. In most cases, this is done by using the key combination ALT+H. You can then arrow down to About... in this menu. Your serial number should be there. Now that we have the numbers, what to do about it? Is there a better way to keep them? You could type up a list, but since you still have the CD, just get a permanent marker (preferably one made for marking CDs) and write the number on the label side of the disk. There is some debate over the effects of ink on a CD over time, but I wouldn't worry about it. 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. In fact, if a program asks you to register a user name and password, you can do the same thing to avoid losing those. I know, the disk is in the PC at the time you're installing. Just braille that registration information on the CD case / envelope or on the manual's inside cover. Just don't store your email passwords, bank pins, or other security information this way. Retrieve Serial Numbers or CD Keys from your computer KeyFinder Thing is a simple utility to retrieve the Serial numbers or CD Keys of Microsoft software installed on your system. It includes options to export the list of found keys and a search option to find keys not included by default. While this utility is aimed at Microsoft products, the author has built it to be versatile so he can include other non-MS products. Currently KeyFinder Thing is able to search for serial numbers or CD keys for 90 software titles. There are 2 versions of KeyFinder; Full and Lite. The full version requires you to have .NET 2.0 FX installed. As for the Lite version, its smaller! You don't need to have .NET 2.0 FX installed. But it doesn't have the features of the full version. Its basic and to the point. The Full version has a feature to search the registry for other serial numbers not currently supported. I prefer to use the full version because it's more advance than the Lite version and it's not complicated. The best part of this software is it's FREE.

Using this software on other computers to steal CD Keys is wrong.
