Question

I have an old version (3.0.SE - yes very old) which was running on an old laptop. I have the product code, but after installing the version from the CD onto a PC I am told the product code is invalid. I have installed the latest version 7 but with the same error message.Is this a versioning issue? How can it be resolved

Answer 1

To address your question about the "honestech VHS to DVD Deluxe" software, it seems like there might be a versioning issue. Product codes are often specific to the version of the software they were issued for. If you have a product code for version 3.0.SE, it may not work with newer versions like version 7.

Here are some steps you could try to resolve the issue:

1. Verify that you are using the correct product code for the version you are trying to activate. Double-check for any typographical errors when entering the code.
2. Contact honestech support or visit their website to see if they offer an upgrade path or can assist with activating older versions.
3. If you need the functionality of version 7, consider purchasing a valid license for that version.
4. Ensure that the system date and time settings are correct, as this can sometimes affect software activation.

If compatibility with newer hardware or operating systems is a concern, check whether version 3.0.SE is officially supported on your current Windows version.
