Paul--
I delayed in answering to learn something new, myself. However--
I use "Belarc Advisor" to get a complete description of my computers, every
time I make a significant change (Hardware or Software) and keep a hard copy
safe.
It will give you serial numbers and model numbers, where they exist, and
records all updates and keys for installed software. Belarc maintains a
database against which your installations are compared, and lets you know of
available material. It is free for non-commercial use.
I like it.
