@billib, sorry don't get what you mean.
The programs were not working for you, what did you do in order to get them working? Changing vmware? (don't know what that is exactly to be honest)
the email is not working for activation guys. obviously the owner has caught up because his servers were being hammered for activation requests from the same email and has apparently dis-abled it. now i get "no transaction found" error whenever i launch the program. Maybe sadpart can null this for us?
