Where are application license keys stored?

Hi Mark,

Generally not, in the APP they are generally hidden in some fashion.

It may be possible to contact them and they have a record of it.

If you have a Cloned Backup it might work to clone it back to the nternal then upgrade.

Yes, how an application stores its registration keys is entirely up to the developers of the application. Some create hidden files in your home folder. Some write it into the app bundle itself. Some write it to some subfolder in /Library. There's no "standard" way to do it.

Best thing to do is keep a record of your registration keys somewhere.

Instead of saving emails, I use 1Password & Passwords Plus. Both are shareware. However, there are quite a few FREE Password Retriever software.

Like BDAqua, I also use a text edit program to keep a list of my passwords, registrations, etc. which I print out & keep in a 3 ring note book for those +"just in case"+ moments.

I keep a Text Edit Doc with all my keys, serial#s, etc., yes, it does seem unfair that people who actually buy the products have more trouble using it than Pirates! 😟
