It would be a good idea to keep a printed list of all

"The Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder is a freeware utility that retrieves your

Product Key (cd key) used to install windows from your registry. It has the

options to copy the key to clipboard, save it to a text file, or print it for

safekeeping. It works on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Office

97, and Office XP. This version is a quick update to make it work with Windows

Server 2003."
