How To Audit Your Computer - Software, Serials, Hardware
If you’re like me you’ll format your PC a couple of times a year to have a good clean up and remove any unnecessary items. A format does sound a bit drastic but it’s a sure fire way to remove software you don’t need any more. But what about all that software you do need and where did you put their CD keys or serials. The answer is to get some audit software that will show you all of your serials and software you’ve got installed for you to save.
There’s plenty of software out there that can do the job but I recommend Belarc Advisor by Belarc. It does a full audit of your machine showing you the software and the hardware that make up the whole system.

The first great thing that this PC audit software gives you is the list of serials that are used for the software on your computer. This means you can keep them in a safe place ready to re-install the protected software once the format is complete. Below is the free audit software running on my own machine but with all of the important CD keys unreadable 
The second list of useful things this computer audit application gives you is a complete list of software installed on the machine. This means you can restore your computer back to it’s original self once a format has taken place.
Lastly, Belarc advisor is able to audit your computer hardware. It will give you as much, if not more, detail as Device Manager under Windows but without having to expand all of the separate hardware components.
This free computer audit software is available to both home and business users. It will help you complete internal auditing and make sure your computer can be easily restored after a format or critical fault.
