When I switched from xp to win 7. I had do move a couple of commercial apps with licenses or keys.
Belarc will report many licenses and keys, for the older OS. I have a 64 bit machine so for win 7 I put the xp 32 bit programs in C:\Program Files (x86). I ran them regirstered using old key. key was from old email or belarc report. OR I also have a text file called passwords and it also has an area for keys.
I also have a filter in my gmail 99-Special that has a bright red tag and I tag password and key emails.
gmall sorts by tag.

I also create a directory called 00_download in C:\ I download all install exe there. I also rename download.exe files with meaningful file name.

When i run belarc, I rename the html file created with date and os and computer discription in the file name. I also copy to a directory that is network visible.

On win 7 program files 64 bit are in "Program Files"

I have copied the directory from xp or in some cases just the exe file to the windows 7 area. depends on if dll are used in the app. Some apps companies will email you your old key if you had logged in once and registered.

I have win 7 ultimate and pro that I believe have xp compatibility mode. not sure if home works that way also.
