If it's a QT window, sure, with a little probing you could probably track down the UI element and read out the string, but I don't really think it's worth the effort to do it and it's an awfully brittle process. There's a save as button which will dump the data to a text file, but again, unless there's a good reason to automate this *exact* specific process, I'd find another way. An example: if in 2016 they're still going to run licences via Flex, then surely it'd be easier querying the license server? (noting i have zero info about 2016, it's just not something on my radar right now)
