Re: protel 99 SE won't Unlock?

Hi Colin,

A very good point. I reinstalled the software on a computer in the lab using Fat32 for C: disk. It worked, my software disk is OK. Then I went and looked at the laptop computer on which this software will not unlock. It's FAT32 formatted. Maybe worth reformatting the disk an option if I can find the restore disk.

Thanks,

Fred

I've only ever tried the demo, but it licensed by writing to the disk
in an obscure way. Perhaps you're running NTFS on the latest disk
instead of FAT32?

Hi All,

I am a licensed user of Protel 99 SE and have used it for a few years on
several computers. Recently, I bought a new computer and tried to load
my software on the machine. It will load but will not allow me to unlock
the software. I know I,m doing it right, and the user codes are right
I've had the software for several years.

To make sure my computer wasn't faulty, I tried to load the software on
a second Win XP machine in the lab. I had the same problem.

I believe the SW disk has been damaged and no longer loads properly.
Perhaps having Trend Micro Antivirus and Webroot spyware Sweep is just
too much. Has anyone had this problem? Can I get or download a
replacement copy? Can't seem to find any help from ALtium.

Thanks,


Fred
