(2013) Streets & Trips on Win 7...I Hope...I Hope

[mark4man]

hello again...

[just wanted to start by saying that...even tho discontinued, S&T is STILL the best mapping program on earth (or at least for me)...& I REALLY need it for my work]

Did a reinstall of Win 7 Pro (got corrupted somehow); & did not back up my registry settings. I had originally purchased & downloaded S&T 2011...but the chance to register was gone, w/ no disk (& no registry keys to go along w/ copying/pasting the program files over from backup). (& the fact that MS discontinued all official S&T downloads)

Had a disk for S&T 2008...but could not also register online w/ MS...after 1 shot; I could not use the program. Went into my registry & cleaned out any entry that had to do w/ the program...reinstalled...but I still needed to register for the app to run longer that 30 days.

So...I've purchased a new disc of S&T 2013 on Amazon, but I am worried that when it arrives; & I load it...I will have the same problem.

any ideas as to what to do?...thanx in advance,

After looking at a bunch of Microsoft sites, I think you're out of luck and will simply have to run it without activation. Strange thing is, I had to reinstall my OS a year ago and I reinstalled Streets and Trips. I don't know how to tell if it's activated. It does say it's licensed to me and it works fine.

If you made images of your previous installation, you should be able to get registry settings out of that.
