A fire safe that really is fire-proof?

What happens if your building burns down and your fire safe melts down to,
and inside of it is all your licensing paperwork.

Many licenses can be accounted for elsewhere by my figures (and guesses)
such as:
Citrix Licensing - All done online
Microsoft Open Licenses - MS keeps their own records online
Windows/Office licenses purchased with new PCs - Ex: Buy a new Dell with
Win2K/Office 2K, Dell has records

But what other products where you did not buy directly from the manuf. and
no online record of licensing exists.  For ex:
Exchange licenses/CALs
Windows CALs
SQL Server licenses

Photocopies are no good, and manuf.'s aren't just going to believe you
really had the licensing.  So what happens in the event of catasrophy and
all paperwork is lost?
