Product Description:

Have you ever needed a serial number to a piece of software, only to find you have lost it? Or needed to get in to website, but can't remember the login information? Or wanted to save some important information? If so, download The Serial Keeper today.

The Serial Keeper saves any type of information you can dream up! From serial numbers for software, credit card and bank account information, to everything in between.
  • Information List - a list where all your software, website passwords, and everything else is listed, along with the name of the contact.
  • Entry Types - are different types of information. For example, save website login information or a simple check book. You can make up any or use the default ones. Also, you can change how the information is displayed using the Entry Type Editor. It's all in your control!
  • Contact Database - a place where you can store contact information so you wont have to reenter that information ever again.
  • Serials/Info List - No more duplicate entries for the same software title but different versions. You can use this list to store all the serial numbers you have for that software title or different accounts for a bank or website.
  • Information Editor - Where you enter the information at.
  • Password Protected - Each database can be protected by a password and each database is encrypted no matter what.

What's new in this version:

  • [New] The Information List (Entries list) now has a disclosure triangle. This expands to show the rows in the Info/Serials List contents.
  • [New - OS X Only] Info/Serials sheet -- an OS X sheet window is now available when holding the Option key and selecting an entry. In that sheet you can double click the info and that will bring up the Information Editor.
  • [New] Entries can now be exported/imported to/from XML. The XML isn't that greatly implemented and can't import XML from other programs.
  • [New] A Hidden Entries list has been added. It's now possible to hide an entry from being shown. This is useful when you have a lot of entries that aren't needed, but you want to save them and not see them. You must unhide the entry in order to edit/view it.
  • [New] Open Recent menu added. This is to conform more with Mac OS's HIG.
  • [New] Exporting info from the Info/Serials list is now implemented.
  • [New] You can now hide the Contact and Shown Info columns in the Entry List. This is controlled in the Database Preferences (Edit Menu).
  • [New] A rebuild/compact menu item has been added. This menu item allows for a compacting of the database.
  • [Change] Deleting multiple entries at one time is now possible.
  • [Change] Opening multiple entries at one time is now possible. That is, if you select multiple entries and click "Edit..." those entries will open.
  • [Change] The Info/Serials list now has strips. That is, every other row has a user selectable background color.
  • [Change] The Info Editor (New Entry or Edit Entry) windows now stagger on top of each other a little -- this is a basic stagger and may not work properly in some situations.
  • [Change] The carbon (OS X) runs as Mach-O now -- which should increase performance. However, this means that the carbon version will no longer run under OS 9. This decision was made because the PPC version worked better then the carbon version under OS 9.
  • [Change] Other changes here and there.
  • [Fix] Copying entries to other files is possible once again. You do this by dragging/dropping files from and to other files.
  • [Fix] Copying Info/Serial rows is possible once again. You do this by dragging/dropping those rows in the Info/Serials List.
  • [Fix] Assigning a new Contact in an Entry that was opened during creation of said contact now works.
  • [Fix] Info Editor did not have a title.
  • [Fix] New or Edit Info Editor gives title to the Entry Editor.
  • [Fix] Contact info (snail mail and net address) listbox's contents now line up with each other.
  • [Fix] Other bugs here and there.

TSK doesn't work with Tiger, and according to the developer's site has been abandoned for the foreseeable future.

No hints on how to open or transfer TSK files to another program are offered.

I used TSK all the way back to the OS9 days, and have a ton of serial numbers that I can't access anymore.

FWIW.
