Save all receipts, warranty cards, licences and papers and keep them in one secure place. This includes:

• A record of all serial, licence numbers and product keys of all your equipment and software.
• Vendor support phone numbers and web addresses
• Actual invoices showing the date of purchase, the purchase price and the components purchased
• All CD’s that came with your purchase. Take special care to keep the original wrapping as keys and serial no. are often attached to them.
• Keep your computer/printer boxes if possible in case you have to send everything back.
