XP OS crashed installed Vista, can't use my keys?

[lilybella]

Header says most of it... Vista seems to be running well enough, but I put my keys on the desktop, rebooted and still cannot use any of my slysoft products. Keeps telling me that I'm on a trial basis, but it doesn't even work (AnyDVD, CloneDVD2, etc.). So how do I actually get the programs to grab the keys?

perplexed...

Read this thread from the Purchase and License Keys Section, specifically #7.

Just putting the key's on the desktop wont remove the 21 day trial period.
Make sure each program you wish to register is installed first (a reboot may be required).
You will have to register each key by double-clicking it. If you get a successful confirmation message, reboot computer.
If that doesn't work for you, another way (don't know if this applies to Vista though as I'm using XP) is start>All Programs>SlySoft>AnyDVD>Register AnyDVD. If successful, reboot.
Navigate to the relevent folders for registering the other program(s).
