Rorohiko to the rescue! The wonderful Kris Coppieters wrote a short script for locating a serial number within InDesign. Recently on Twitter, Jean-Claude Tremblay posed the question: “How can you find which Adobe serial number is installed on a multi-computer setup?”

But sometimes, we need to know which serial number is installed where. While it would be an excellent idea to keep track of this information in a spreadsheet, I admit that when I get a new version of InDesign, I throw caution to the wind, and install it as quickly as possible, giving no regard for keeping track of the serial number. With laptops, desktops, and multiple people in a workgroup, it’s easy to lose track of which serial number corresponds to which InDesign version on which computer.

If you’ve been designing for a while, chances are good that you have multiple versions of InDesign installed on your computers.
