It verifies that you didn't pirate the software

(Which, thanks for entering your serial). To reprogram your hotkeys, all you have to do is click the MIDI Learn icon and hover your mouse over a control until it turns gray, then simply hit whatever key you want and you'll be all set.
Even though it's the MIDI Learning, it'll work for your laptop keyboard as well.
Happy editing!
