Of course there are many ways to keep pertinent software registration info -- dedicated databases, spreadsheets, etc. What sold me here is that in this age of Internet sold shareware much of the information important to a softwares registration is provided via email or web documents. LIcense Keeper makes is easy to collect much of this info by importing the email, files and other documents associated with a piece of software. This info is stored in single database (copies of the actual files - not simply pointers) which is easy to backup. Overall, it is very useful to me. the GUI is nice and pretty easy to use. I only wish for a Listbox type grid view of the smaller pieces of data (Serial #'s, Vendor, websites, dates etc.) with markers in the grid to access emails.
