A computer-readable registration medium has a unique computer-readable identifier. The registration medium identifier is stored in a computer database. Also stored in the computer database are a box identifier associated with a box in which the registration medium is packed and product information for a product packed in the box. The registration medium identifier is associated with the box identifier, which is associated with the stored product information for the product. The registration medium can be a CD-ROM having the registration medium identifier encoded thereon and having a barcode disposed thereon. The registration medium causes a user computer to read the registration medium identifier, prompt the user to enter registration information into the user computer, and send the registration medium identifier and the entered registration information to a product registration computer.
