			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you want to setup your computer system again you need to have the licenses an serial numbers at hand for all the software programs that you have purchased and registered. This does include the Windows product key but also other serial numbers for applications like Nero, Office, VMWare and pretty much every other application.</p>
<p>Instead of searching for the keys in your emails, manuals and recipes you could use another approach. License Crawler is a sweet little application that scans the Windows Registry for Windows product keys and other serial numbers and licenses.</p>
<p>If you want to find the license or find the serial number for a product that you have installed on your system then License Crawler could be your best bet. It is also the optimal solution before installing software on a system. </p>
<p><span id="more-6479"></span>Say you use Nero regularly and it is causing problems lately. Before uninstalling and installing Nero you should run License Crawler to find the serial of Nero and write it down.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/licensecrawler-500x294.gif" alt="windows product key" title="windows product key" width="500" height="294" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6481" /></p>
<p>The advantage of License Crawler is its diversity compared to other products that can only reveal Windows product keys. As long as the software is storing its license key in the Registry it will be discovered by the software program.</p>
<p>License Crawler is compatible with most versions of Windows starting with Windows 95 including Windows Vista. It is a portable application that can be run from any location and would be a perfect fit for an USB stick: Thinking tech support here asking the clients to find the serial or license key could end up in frustration. Starting License Crawler instead could reveal it without having to interact with the client at all.</p>
<p>The homepage of License Crawler <a href="http://www.klinzmann.name/index.html">uses</a> the German language but the software program itself uses English. This is a direct <a href="http://www.klinzmann.name/files/licensecrawler.zip">link</a> to the application. Just download, unpack and start.</p>
<p>The terms of use have to be accepted at the beginning. A click on the Start Search button crawls the Windows Registry trying to find serial and license codes. It is possible to change the Registry Hive or search them all but the best results are usually achieved with the default settings.</p>
