This sounds like a impossible task.. program just don't save serial numbers in a standardized format. Not to mention those programs that do not save the serial number to harddrive (why would it?).

Hi<br />
Does i not store the information in the registry ? <br />
because if u reinstall a piece of software like office 97, the second time around it does not ask for the serial number but shows who the software was registered to with the serial number <br />
<br />
<br />

But every program has probably their own way of storing the data, so to look for a program's serial number will mean you will have a gigantic database of how to look for each and every program.

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
