Is there a speciific place in the registry where I could find all my software licences. I have quite a few saved, but have some I forgot to save at the time.
Thanks for reading and in advance for any help offered.

You've been around for a while.
I think that I've even had the pleasure of participating with you in one or more help topics.
That you are a familiar WTT Member, may make my comment and policy statement more difficult for you to read and accept.
Please consider the protective intent of the policy even as you may also be frustrated and disappointed with the result.
WTT Forums does not assist with the circumvention or discovery of either password or product license information.
While such requests are often legitimate, and come from users who experience exactly the kind of problem that you post, we have no way of determining situations which are legitimate vs. not legitimate, therefore we do not respond to such requests. Further considerations limiting our ability to safely provide any related information to you, our Member, include the fact that these forums are read by thousands of guest/readers who are even further from our ability to verify and may not have the same good intensions to which we subscribe.
Hedley, it is probably you who has written your topic here, and you who is making this request legitimately.
However, it could be that "someone" (Hedley's little brother, Hedley's friend, or a thief) has gained physical access to Hedley's computer and as a result has also gained access to Hedley93's Member Account here at WTT Forums.
As unfortunate as the above possibility may be, we at WTT Forums would be remiss if we unknowingly supplied additional information to "someone" who may already have taken advantage of your property. We will not assist in the possibility of further explointing your ownership.

Your best course of action…
1. Take your machine to a reputable local technician where you can submit the machine and your credentials in a way that makes clear your need and legitimate right to the requested information. With such credentialling a local tech may be able to assist you with at least most of the information you seek.
2. While some software licensing information is somewhat more readily available to be accessed by a competent tech, other application softwares registration and activation codes may be "only" available in connection to your purchase order transaction number and may only be supplied by the vendor or publisher from which you purchased the software. Your receipt, canceled check, credit card history, and/or communication you may have received at time of purchase may be your best avenue for retrieving some of the information you seek. And while publishers and vendors may be notoriously difficult to reach, you are their customer to whom they owe the rights and privileges which you have purchased.
Obvious, and obviously too late, your present need highlights the importance of documenting and saving registration, activation, product ID and certificate inforamation that accompanies the software which we use.
I wish you the very best in this difficult situation.
