I had a couple of 3rd party apps for Photoshop and I recently misplaced my list with serial numbers. I was able to find one serial in the XP registry (XP is on a different drive). The other two, I decided to try and export all the keys from the XP registry and import into Win7. The normal reg entries imported just fine. I ran into a small problem with a few keys that were in the unique ID section of the registry, but after switching in the new ID, they imported as well. I copied the old directories from the XP drive to the new Win7 drive and... It worked. The two apps work and are still registered. No need for me to find my missing serial numbers.

Time will tell, but I think 7 is off to a good start.
Google license crawler. I just used that to find my install codes, so I can re-install my programs when my new laptop arrives.
