Greetings,
I tried to run PF3 today and got an activation request. I'm not sure why. It's been more than six months since I used it. I added my activation code and stated it wasn't installed on another machine. I got an error stating that I've exceeded my activation times. (along with a "locked for 30 days")
It may be that I had it installed on a server and had a network set up. But I honestly don't remember. If I did activate it from the networked computer then how would I deactivate that install? The computer is gone and no hope of restoration.
Another situation I remember is the restore of the current PC from a harddisk to an SSD. This would have changed certain Computer ID's that some activation software depend on. Could this be the cause as well?
I appreciate any help with this.
Thanks,
-Matt
