I find it best to copy and paste registration codes even if it's in separate "pieces" to avoid mistakes, confusion with the number one and the letter l (lowercase L) or I, a zero with the letter O, etc. If a program will let you enter the whole number in a single field instead of several separate fields, it's even easier. I don't remember if Beer Smith uses a set of fields or one long one, but either way it should work. Just don't copy the dashes if you have multiple fields to fill in.
