I cannot begin to recall the email address I had at the time, nor the user ID

But this is essentially the same problem as losing a license key.  I think people generally don't like having to download a specially licensed version of an installer (particularly if you can only do so for a few days) because you can't stick that installer in the spreadsheet/notepad document/whatever it is you keep your list of software license keys in.

Agreed, though some of the outliners/notekeepers, e.g. RightNote, allow you to embed files inside their databases.  From RightNote Help:
Attachment note type     

The attachment note type allows you to store any type of file in a RightNote database. For example you can store MS Word documents, Excel files and PDF Documents. If supported, the contents of the file will be indexed and made searchable.
I presume "any type of file" would include .EXEs, or .ZIPs, and even if not, one could MIME/uu-encode them.  That would generally make for an awfully large note, though.
