I'm not sure what a .dat file is, and you don't specify, but given your example it looks like the configparser library might work for you.

import configparser

config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read('./license.dat')

print(config['Registration information']['Name'])
print(config['Registration information']['Key'])
