Add the license key for the old version with the License Key Manager to run both versions of OfficeWriter.(Dlls can be found under Program Files\SoftArtisans\OfficeWriter\bin). Update the references in your projects to point to the new OfficeWriter dlls.

If you experience this issue, please contact us. Update April 4, 2013: If you are running a 32-bit application with OfficeWriter on a 64-bit operating system, you may encounter this error message, even though the license key is in the registry and matches the version of OfficeWriter being used. This means that your projects may have references to the old dlls (say v4), but the license key in the registry is for the new version (v8). When the old version of OfficeWriter is uninstalled and a new version is installed, the dlls in your projects are not automatically updated. This can happen if you are trying to use an OfficeWriter dll that is not the same version as the license key in the registry.Ī common scenario where this occurs, is upgrading to a new version of OfficeWriter. General license key exception: No valid license key found. I hope you find this information useful.When trying to create an instance of the ExcelApplication or ExcelTemplate objects, the following error is returned: Now I have the VHS-DVD 3 installed and working properly. Roxio, it doesn't have to be this difficult and painful!!!Īfter communicating with Roxio's chat support I was able to enable the program on my new computer, I was asked for some evidence of the purchase, fortunately I keep the box and disk of the original software. Even though they still sell this version online, it no longer has phone support so they refuse to let me actually talk to someone real.

I'm on day 3 trying to convince Roxio how to fix this as they don't seem to have a clue. Now, a few years later, I bought a new PC and can't install this because of the same problem. My profile on Roxio identifies the original key that did not work. After 4 days back and forth between Roxio and Best Buy, FINALLY Roxio gave me a new Key, to work one time, so I could install the software. But I could not find one BB store that knew anything about it. The way it was supposed to work was they validated it at the store when you purchase. VHS-DVD 3+ purchased at Best Buy contained a 2nd BBY serial number.
