Need MakeCD Registration Replaced - Can't contact Authors

[Hyperspeed]

I remember being thoroughly pissed when I bought the DAO MakeCD from HiSoft and opened it up to find I had to send off to Germany for the code.

The commercial package that cost 50 GBP actually stops working after 3 months, by which time it has reverted back to the shareware demo. No wonder piracy is rife!

When you have opened the box there is a booklet inside and on the first page is a Hisoft Serial Number and alphanumeric Registration Code.

To get around the 'bastard 3-month time limit (that I paid 50 GBP for) I set the Workbench clock to 2097 or something and then installed the software, this really buggered with the time limit. HAH!

:-D :-D :-D

Hey, when you do get it running get VCDGear, it works a treat.

Can you imagine sitting in front of a Playstation with a code-wheel like Zool, or a bit of red card with barely visible watermarks on? I forget which game printed it's copy protection code with black ink on black paper, might have been Alien Breed 3D 2.

And I never did like these popups when a program is executed. TurboCalc, Wordworth and DPaint5 all did this, it's just irritating. It's like getting into the car and the airbag hits you in the mouth.

Now listen here... frog!

The man's request wasn't for the keyfile but for someone to contact such as Angela Schmidt.

I have MakeCD and the code is on the book not the disk.

Taking Microsoft's customer services as the norm is like accepting famine because McDonald's is closed on a Sunday night.

Now be nice!

:-D

EDIT: "Be excellent to each other!"  -  "Party on dudes!"

Framiga: Broken link?

If anyone does get in touch with the author of MakeCD, ask her if her sister is still offering keyfiles for RDB-Salv!

:-)

Oh, and tell her to put (multi-layer/)DVD support in MakeCD!

Norwegians get irritable at this time of year; the sun is low, the nights are long and there's only whale for breakfast.

:-D

doctorq: If you were in the same position would you feel happy about buying another 80-euro copy? That's 2-days pay for some!

So if your car key snapped in the lock on a frosty night you wouldn't call the locksmith?
