How do i find the serial number of software that is already installed on my pc please?

i.e. Ahead Nero, want to download a free update but it asks for the serial number & Nero was already installed on the pc, so i don't have a disk.:flower:

Follow the steps below in order to locate it:
1) Click on ´Start --> Run´ and type in ´REGEDIT´.
2) Click on ´OK´, which opens the Registry Editor.
3) Click on the folders ´HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> AHEAD --> NERO BURNING-ROM --> INFO´.
4) You will see your serial number on the right-hand side of the Registry Editor, with following name (related to the respective version you have): Serial4, Serial5 or Serial6
This entry looks as follows:
14xx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (for Nero 4)
15xx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (for Nero 5)
1Axx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (for Nero 6)
Please note the number.

I would try running Nero and then inside Nero going to the Help menu and there should be an option like "About Nero", that will hopefully give you the serial number/product number in there.:)
