I was able to complete the first couple of steps, but then I got stock where the text is in bold.
I clicked on
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Nero\Installation\Families\Nero 8\Info
And I couldn’t find my serial number anywhere. It said it was displayed next to the “Serial8” entry, but it wasn’t.
Could I just skip that step? Or is it part of the Nero 8 CleanTool?
Because I already know my serial number.
