In the old days, we had to deal with way too many software protection dongles, and I still remember mailing a floppy disk to register my copy of QuarkXPress 3. Thankfully, most companies now rely on serial numbers to unlock applications. Also thankfully, Outer Level created LicenseKeeper to track and organize all those numbers and codes.
LicenseKeeper is a fairly simple application that maintains a database of the software serial numbers, license codes, and registration keys you need for the applications you use. True, you can create a database yourself in applications like FileMaker Pro, or make simple lists in TextEdit or even Microsoft Excel (Please donit. Spreadsheet applications should be used for number crunching.). LicenseKeeper, however, also keeps copies of associated emails, files, and notes relating to your applications.
