I bought a Kenwood KPG-49D V4.02. It now asks for a serial number but don't know what it is or where to look for it. Could you please help me out. Thanks.

To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:
Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.
If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.
To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.
The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.
For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).
This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

The serial number is on the order you got from JVC Kenwood. If you bought a pirated copy off Fraudbay, then you'll have to go buy it from a dealer or JVC Kenwood themselves.

Where did you buy it from?
As MTS said, a legal copy of the software from Kenwood will include the key necessary to activate the software. When you buy a real copy from Kenwood or a Kenwood dealer, it's on a sticker on the CD case. It usually begins with K and is a long alpha/numeric character string.
If you bought it somewhere else, then you'll need to take that up with the seller.
