Author Save and Retrieve Product Key

Using VS05 I have created a Setup project that implements the
SerialNumberTemplate property that will force a user to enter a Product
Key (Serial Number) in order to install the application.

Although I have my complaints on the limitation of the Serial Number
format that is available to us, I have the Installer successfully
authenticating the Product Key that the user enters.

Where I'm getting hung up is in saving the Serial Number (that the user
entered and that the installer successfully authenticated) to disk. I
want to save the Serial Number to disk because I will need to display
the Serial Number in the Help > About window at Runtime.

Can anyone point to an MSDN article (I've searched to no avail) and/or
clue me in on how to accomplish this task?
