Just looking through my CD's noticed that my license key it's gone. The
software is at the moment installed completly in my machine. Is there any way
to retrieve that key? I tryed using the 90 day help but it's up and now I
feel stuck.

Help please...
 
If I drop a $100 bill in the parking lot of my grocery store, I don't
complain when I return to find it missing. That's a $100 mistake.

The thing to remember is that, when you buy software, you are buying the
license key. The bytes just go along for the ride. If you lose the license
key, you've dropped your money in the parking lot.

If the software is installed, you can run for a while. Now may be a good
time to purchase an upgrade version and install it. Then you will have the
license key. The cost of the upgrade may be less than $100 (I don't know
what software you lost), so hopefully your mistake will be smaller than the
one I described.

However, I assume that you don't blame me if it was me, that I still did ask
somewhere if they found it.

I could not resist to write this.

Amalfy,

You did not say what software however beside that, far the place you use it
or the shop where you bought it continuing Nicks methaphor, would you not
find it back.

Because you sent this to this newsgroup it is probably Net software.
Although that I give you a low change, can you forever try to contact the
reseller of the software, maybe will he give you a discount.

I agree the context of Nicks message with him, We have seen all kinds of
reasons in this newsgroup why people want to have license keys so there is
not much believe anymore in those reasons.

In that you will always see that the good have to suffer from the bad.

Just as thought,

Cor
