Keeping track of your product keys with Gmail
For some reason software companies these days have it in their heads that if they attempt to lock down their software with ridiculous software activation rituals, keys, codes and dongles, they will be able to keep the pirates from using their software for free. The fact of the matter is that no matter how many times they move the pea in their silly little game of piracy cups, their software will always get hacked. All the while people that actually support these companies by buying the software get to jump through these silly hoops they have set up. So if you find yourself becoming majorly confused and disorganized when trying to keep up with all your product activation keys/conformation codes/serial numbers/response codes, etc... here is a tip from Lifehacker that you should check out. You will get a good idea of how to search through Gmail and set up filters to find and keep track of your exhausting array of activation codes. If they never emailed you the codes, just open up whatever activation program you have and email yourself whatever numbers you need, or even a screenshot.
You do use Gmail...don't you?
