If you ever need to reinstall the retail version of FH6, you don’t actually need to save the CD (especially as many modern PCs no longer have an optical drive). I just copied the installation file (FH setup.exe), and archive that along with the serial number stored in a simple text file.

Mikey,
I use Epim as my Personal Information Manager, which I swear by.
It has everything I need to remember those passwords etc. It even has the ability to generate secure passwords at the click of a button.
It come with calendar, notes, e-mail, and contacts sections, even in the free version.
It has an iPad/android app so you can sync with your iPad/tablet calendar, contacts etc.
I’ve been using it for the past 20 years, and can’t fault it.
Give it a (free) try, you won’t be disappointed
Thanks for that recommendation Gowermick. I haven't heard of that application but will certainly have a look at it. I tend to keep my passwords etc written down in a secure place separate from my devices, which I know isn't recommended, but this looks like a better option.

Forgot to mention you might need to search for EssentialPIM, rather than EPIM :D

If you install FH7 on a second PC, it only needs your account and password, not the activation key. If you attempt to install on a 3rd, I believe it will ask which of the previous PCs you wish to deactivate.
