I have just reinstalled Nero 5.5.9 from an OEM CD that came with my LiteOn CD burner. I now wish to upgrade to the latest version of Nero 6, however as part of purchasing a serial number the webpage asks for the serial number for my previous OEM version of Nero 5.5. Unfortunately I do not know where my serial number is, it seems I have placed the Nero CD in a different sleeve to the one it came with, as there is nothing written on the outside. I was not asked to enter any serial number during the installation. Under the ABOUT NERO box it just says it is version 5.5.9.13 BUNDLED, it does not list a serial number.

I am wondering if the serial number is written somewhere in the windows registry so that I can just access that so that I can enter it in the webpage. At the moment it simply isn't allowing me to purchase an upgrade because I do not have a valid serial number.

1.Click START>RUN and type in REGEDIT.

2. Click OK. The Registry Editor will open.

3. Click on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE folder>SOFTWARE folder>AHEAD folder>NERO BURNING-ROM folder>INFO folder

4. The serial number is displayed in the right pane of the registry editor. There you will find an entry named Serial4, Serial5 or Serial6. This entry will be displayed according to your currently or previous Nero install.

14xx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (for Nero 4 serial number)
or
15xx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx (For Nero 5 serial number)
