Having an FTP and file server at your home is a very useful thing to have. By having a central point in your home where everything is stored and have the ability to share everything you need across your home network.

Now, if you are going to grab files from your home while you are away there are a few things you should really keep in mind before doing this.

I’m sure you are like me.

You’ve run into a problem, had to reformat, and didn’t keep a backup of software.  You reinstall software only to find out you have misplaced a jewel case or dvd case and you are lacking the ever-so-important License Key.  You search everywhere and are unable to locate it.

Drown those worries.

License crawler is free software that scans your registry for product keys so that you may back them up properly.   Me, I copy the entire window into notepad and print it out.  This free software ensures that you will never have to go through that frantic scavenger hunt for serials in your closet, countless spindles, booklets, etc.  Keep it all in one place and you will be good to go.
