I just had a computer crash where I had to reload everything including Windows. When I went to reload my PWP 6.0 I found that, in addition to my PWP 6.0 Serial Number, I needed my PWP 5.0 Serial Number. This is because my 6.0 was an upgrade. Luckily I had not cleaned out my files and still had the PWP 5.0 Serial Number.
Lesson, if you have an upgrade, keep the Serial Number for the old version stored where you can retrieve it.

Re: Keep Your Old Serial Numbers

This is an excellent idea. I've needed my old software numbers more than once so I now keep them all on an Excel spreadsheet. I back it up with all my other stuff and even print it out regularly so I have a hard copy ("just in case").
One thing I never do is purge it - that is, delete old unneeded numbers. I have serial numbers for software that doesn't exist any more!
After all...you never know.
