Easily Keep Track of Software Licenses

by Scott on September 4, 2008

How many software applications do you have on your computer that require a license input when installed? Did you ever notice how when you need to install your software on a new computer that you can never seem to find that license key? Was it in an email, on a box, who knows? This short post will go over how I use Smart To-Do List to store all of my license keys.

The first thing I did was create a new project called Software Licenses.

After creating the project I simply added each license one by one into my new list. I did this by typing the product name and version followed by the license number.

As you can see I tagged each license @Work or @Home. Using these tags allows me to easily filter my list depending on where I’m at (work or home) since I always have my to-do list with me.

It doesn’t get any simpler than that, all of my license keys in one place, easily accessible wherever I am.

Use Ubuntu. Then you won’t have to worry about keeping track of software licenses.
