VSX3 Activation

[Accolades]

Hi,

Downloaded and ran trial and found working fine.

Purchased ONLINE and was issued serial.

So far I have been unable to activate/register the trial version!!

Thanks to Corel Support I was issued another download link and instructions for uninstalling file.

Uninstalled and installed new version (few bytes difference) added tme serial in the install and all went well...

V13.6.0.272

Started program and asked for activation and whammo!!! invalid serial !!

Ignored message and found info on the version I am running. This displayed the serial nimber I was issued with.

Closed and re-opend program and was again asked for activation with same result!!

I must thank Corel for being prompt with replies but one that worked would be nice!!

Apart from this issue all is well.

Still have issues uploading to Youtube so i create vid and use browser to upload.

Hopefully Activation will be fixed soon.

FWIW, somewhat embarassingly for Corel, I am currently going through the same experience!! As is, I think, Ron... We too are looking forward to a solution so that we can again have a functioning version of the program to be able to help out here...

Didn't they go through the same thing with the last version?

Strange with the TBYB version I found Uploading to You Tube the best bit in the HD department. Worked perfectly for me with no hassle. Very short vid here:

Very scenic and a nice alternative to looking at those snow flakes falling outside my living room window!

Yep, I sent them to you Steve.. I hate to be a selfish hog, and I have more than enough. We're going to be getting more snow, Thursday, Friday and Saturday..

Hi Accolades,
Could you give me, all of us, the instructions Corel gave you to uninstall VSX3?

Dear Mr/ Ms Barnes,

Thank you very much for your e-mail.

We are unable to generate an Activation Code for some reason. This may be due to the trial version that you installed. Kindly remove the trial version completely first following these instructions below:

1. Download and install the Microsoft Windows Clean Up utility. This will remove all registry keys associated with the VideoStudio 13.0 install process:

Seems to be in two places in Registry?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Corel
VS Pro
Version13

Also under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Ulead Systems
Corel VideoStudio Pro

Man, That looks exactly like an email that I got from another editing software company. I never did get the software to work so in fear of 30 days passing and thereby unable to get a refund, I came to VS X2.

X3, how to completely uninstall

We used it to remove our beta versions during testing.
Put simply ..... it does what it says on the can - it works.

[wstagner]

I ran Ron's utility and it seamed to work but did not.
I have X2 installed on this system. It works fine.
My initial install of X3 was running including prompting me for serial number.

This particular machine has been unstable of late and during the install, Windows XP SP3 trapped during the install and I had to reboot.

Now, if I attempt any X3 install it never prompts for a serial number and when it gets to 60% of whatever it's doing, it says:

"Installation not completed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time please run setup again. Click finish to exit the wizard."

Any ideas?

I've had aborted installs of other products and when I attempt reinstall of those, the install "remembers" where it was and merrily continues.

TIA,
Walt

What prompted you to uninstall it? Just curious, if it was crashing or you had not received the Get More/Do More function yet?

I know on my desktop (WinXP HP SP3) and laptop (Vista HP) I've ran the clean-up utility several times, and the only problem I encountered was that it froze up once. I simply killed it, re-booted my machine, and re-ran it.

The utility should remove all instances of any of the programs it is designed for, from the registry. You might check your registry to see if you have anything left from VS Pro X3.

Hi, Ron.
Like I said, XP crashed during the install. When I restarted it from the CD, it just crapped out with the same message in my previous post.

Only software I can see in the registry is Ulead 11 and Corel VS 12.

I still have both of these running fine on this system.

I'm kinda stuck at this time.
