how to view serials of any software ?

You are expected to pay for commercial software programs. Because of this, most programs do not store serial numbers in the registry in a way that is possible for you to read from.
Buy the software instead, or use an Open Source alternative.

I'm afraid it isn't that easy. The serials themselves won't be stored in the registry. An _encrypted_ key will be stored in the registry to signal to the program (and hopefully nobody else!) that the program is registered (or not). So even if you managed to decrypt this key, you'd be no closer to finding the serial of the program.
Why do software companies do this you ask? Because if they didn't, any old idiot could easily crack their software - I'm afraid they're a bit smarter than all that!

Usually there are special programs(small appllications ) that let you change/view the serial number.
There are no "general" methods for doing this.
Try give more details! it helps!
