AAPPLE  If it has instructions it might be useful. As it is, it does not do as advertised: namely automatically find license keys from my e-mail archives. It has a nice lookup interface, but all I care about is finding serial numbers. The amount of effort apparently required to update the data is just as much as editing a text file, and that is free!

JON TRAINER  LicenseKeeper has two phases of data detection:

1. At Application Import, LicenseKeeper will try to determine the app name, icon, version, publisher, website, and a few other details.

2. When attaching emails to an application entry, LicenseKeeper will scan the email's text for serial numbers, registered email address, and other purchase related information.

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!

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!

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.

ONEBLESSEDGUY  I would love it if this could import AppShelf stuff. I have a file but already own LK. This program is incredible!

Perhaps this could be an added feature?

Thanks!

JON TRAINER  AppShelf import is now included. Drag and Drop the file to the LicenseKeeper dock icon or to the source list. You can also use the Import XML function via the Import External Data menu item.

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.

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!

DARKATHENA76  I like this app for its layout and integration with Mac OS X (I can use it on Tiger or Leopard).

The one thing that really irks me though is that it has NO option to password protect its database or a way to encrypt its contents - the developer suggests Filevault. However, when I asked him about it he replied in an email that he is working on such a feature - so there's hope!

The main reason I chose this application over RapidoSerial (which is also a nice app, and free) is that with this one I can store those pesky license files that some developers use to license their apps. I say they're "pesky" because it's not the easiest to keep track of them.

Is $20 worth it to keep track of those license files even without encryption? To me it is.

If this app had the ability to encrypt its database or at the very least password protect itself then it would be perfect.

MACNOOK  A side note: I store all my license files in RapidoSerial. In the lower right corner, it says "Documents"-- click the + sign and add your license files.
