Open the original- What it measures
- The same section tells you how to find the number from inside a running copy of Dragon: open the Help menu, then About Dragon, where the serial number is shown on the screen.
- What it does not show
- This covers a purchase made as a download. The notes say nothing about the number on a physical box or on a reseller's receipt, so check the seller's order email or account page for those.
