It works by trawling through the registry and picking out registration details for any software that stores information in this way. You can choose which section of the registry it looks through and once the scan is complete, you will be presented with a list of codes that have been found so you can save them for future reference – you just never know when you might need them.

If you are the sort of person that is called upon to help out with problems with friends’ and family computers, the fact that this is a portable app that you can pop on a USB drive is very useful. As with so many of the beat utilities, this is the sort of app that you may not use all that frequently, but on the occasions you do use it, it will prove unendingly valuable.

Sometimes you’ll find that the number that LicenseCrawler comes up with either doesn’t work or is too long or short for the field it’s intended for. That said, LicenseCrawler is way more efficient than searching Google for serial and registration numbers manually, and should help you find the right one within a few searches.
