NATHENWESTFIELD  This is the best license software ever. It makes so much easier to keep a record of all your serial numbers and names. It saves a lot of frustration

AROBULACK  Two words: kick ass.

This is the best software license management app out there, bar none. I have never had a problem with it, its easy-to-use organization has saved me countless times, and, to put it bluntly, it's a joy to use. I manage over 200 commercial software and shareware licenses with this app. I couldn't live without it!

DONNRICHARDS  5 Star Customer Support.

I asked for support for importing data from "The Serial Keeper". TSK is a great application, but it has been discontinued, and is no longer available. Jon was extremely responsive regarding my request. I am now a LicenseKeeper user!

THEBRIX2008  I used to use KeePassX to keep my licences. It is an excellent general encryption program, but was starting to become unwieldy and the difference in switching to LicenseKeeper is huge - the sheer slickness of capturing a licence is great.

Press Import Application and select it from the Finder to create the basics (database entry, name, icon, version number etc.), then select the corresponding registration email in Entourage and press Attach Email. The email contents are parsed and usually put into the various fields (registration name, registration email, product key etc.), including attachments as separate files; that doesn't always work, because there is no standard format for registration emails, but I found there was no further typing required about 80% of the time. So a registration is usually captured in two mouse clicks and, even better, the product key is automatically pasted to the clipboard.

If there is no email, the application details may be typed directly into the form, which is well designed (a big box for serial number on the front tab, so no constraints on its format).

I created a database with about 40 entries in half an hour, then exported it (XML plus encrypted attachments) to DropBox. Job done, and far more accurately than before; spending a little money on a dedicated application was money well spent.

IAMDORIAN  Tried a demo, and I am sold. I used to use a program called Be Safe!, but this has died. That developer was trying to satisfy this market's needs as well - serial number storage. Of all the "license" storage apps this appears to be the only one truly tailored to serial numbers storage/retrieval. This said, the app could use a separate activation # pop-up or divided field area in the license field. This is a commonly required piece of data for higher-end applications in the video and animation markets.

I'd like to see this as a MUPromo item!

I'll be buying my license soon. Good work.

PICON  The absolute best app of its kind. Period. To top it off, the developer is one of the most responsive I have ever dealt with. 5 stars all around!

PENNYHEAD1  I really like this app. I finally got rid of that free one (which I won't mention) that was taking forever to load and to save individual entries with. It was driving me bats! LicenseKeeper works smoothly and I was happy to spend the money in order not to slow my computer down which the other application did. Thanks.

HMURCHISON  I really like LicenseKeeper. I think the ease in being able to add not only apps but Pref panes, widgets plugins and more makes it the premier license tracking repository on the market. I've had excellent stability with the application.

However with that said in mind the developer missed a BIG opportunity to align with bundles like MacHeist and Mupromo and more to deliver easy importation of license data? I'm afraid that AppShelf is going to overtake LicenseKeepr, not because they have a better product..they don't but because they have outfoxed the fox.

I've docked LK a star because I think they should be finding ways to make it easy to import these bundled apps. I've cringed in the past dealing with a multitude of different license schemes and fastidiously importing my data.

Throw us a bone here. At the least add Appshelf license file import and save us the grief. Thanks!

HMURCHISON  I hate tracking license info. It's so non-standard. Most developers have serial numbers but some have license files and other methods for piracy prevention. Keeping up with them can be difficult. I know it's possible to simply place the serials in a spreadsheet but I just wanted a more "centric" program for licensing. Initially I balked at the $19.95 price but after using it and adding a bunch of apps I'm not missing that money but i've gained a lot of usefulness. Now when there's a software bundle I immediately add the apps to LK and attach the email or license files to the respective app[s]. It couldn't be more simple. I like that everything you need is there. Automatic email scanning (though it tends to pull the first serial even if there are more in the email) and support for pref panes and more.

I guess the next task will be how well I can transport my licenses. I'm planning an upgrade to my Mac and I may do a fresh install and reinstallation of all 3rd party apps.

So far so good.

JOHN QUINN  When I formatted my hard drive and re-installed all my apps, I lost almost all of the license information I had stored in License Keeper. Before formatting, I updated License Keeper and exported the content. However, when I tried to import it again later, it only imported part of the information - many serials were missing and so were all the application icons. I can't remember the version of License Keeper this happened with, must have been about ten months ago. I am sure this issue has been taken care of by now. I myself am reluctant to use this app since, however, and rather try to store my license information in more conventional old school ways. What I am saying is that simply beware of the possibility of losing your information and maybe create an external copy of your licenses before formatting just in case.
