I don't have registered versions of these tools so I can't help you directly, but here are the steps needed to work this out yourself...

1. Get a registry editor that lets you export your registry. I use PHM Registry Editor for this...

2. Perform a hard reset

3. Install the registry editor

4. Export your registry. In PHM this is done by tap-holding "My Device" and selecting "Export..."

5. Register each tool

6. Re-export your registry to a new file.

7. Copy the registry exports to your PC

8. Compare them using a merge tool. I use WinMerge for this...

...you may need to open and save each registry file in Notepad so WinMerge doesn't consider them binary files.

Though there will be a few unrelated changes (such as the key that stores the current date/time), the changes that capture the serials should be highlighted and fairly easy to find.
