X3 Install issue

Post by wjk5828 »

I'm a long time PI user back to version 4. I recently had to rebuild my machine (Win 7 64 bit) and am getting a dialog that says, "Activation was unsuccessful. Cannot connect to the server. Please check your internet connection settings."

Well, my connection seems to be fine. I'm at a loss as to how to proceed. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and removing registry entries related to Ulead/Corel. No joy. I find this strange as I have been thru new installations with X3 at least five times without incident.

Thanks

I'm no technical expert by any means. I'm sure others here may be able to help you.

Your version of X3 is it an update from a previous version, if so you will require the serial number from the previous version.

Check with your online account at Corel for the serial numbers. Has it been registered previously?

There are a lot of updates for X3 which you will find more information here:
