Here a few thoughts on one of the really valuable assets in your business,
serial numbers. I'm John Harrington.
Serial numbers are a really important part and component of your business.
It cannot be stressed enough, if you lose a serial number and you have to do a
reinstall at two o'clock in the morning you're in trouble and if you're on
deadline your in even more trouble.
I strongly encourage you to protect and keep your serial numbers in a secure
place. We put three copies of each one of our serial numbers into a file
folder in our filing system. Whether that's three copies of the back of the
CD-rom case that we got or it's three copies of the email with a
highlighter run across the serial number so it reminds us what it is.
Keeping a serial number safe and secure is really important when you
have to do reinstalls and for upgrades. In addition, you want to
place your serial numbers in your address book, on your smart phone, or
in your computer so that it's in just one more place where it's easily
accessible for you.
