Unable to use TurboActivate anymore

I used to be able to use TurboActivate. However, after a long hiatus with the project I have attempted to run the application on the development computer (which was already activated) and I can no longer use the software.

First off, IsGenuine ALWAYS returns "NotGenuine"

Second, calling Deactivate(true) causes an Exception "Not Activated".

Calling TurboActivate.exe says that it already has a product key (will not let me re-enter it) and says that Activation was successful instantly with only a Finish button.

So there doesn't seem to be anything I can call, to "CLEAR" the product key, and start over. 😳 😳

Are you using different versions of TurboActivate? Always use the latest version of TurboActivate. And don't mix & match versions of TurboActivate.exe and TurboActivate.dll. Make sure they're the same version.

To fix things, in your app call "Deactivate(true)" that will clear out the activation and remove the product key. Also, instead of using the TurboActivate wizard, try passing a new key using the CheckAndSavePKey() function. What happens? What happens when you run "Activate()"?

Also, make sure the same TurboActivate.dat is being used everywhere. It sounds like you might have TurboActivate.dats from separate products or versions and one version is activated while the other isn't.

Well, just to clarify a few things. I'm using the latest version. I've updated all files, including the DLL, EXE and I re-downloaded the DAT from the site.

I only have 1 product.

There is only 1 version of the application on the computer.

Calling Deactivate(true) returns an exception NotActivated.

When I tried to use the CheckAndSavePkey, i got a false return. Now, when I call Deactivate(true) or GetPKey() I get "The product key is invalid, or there is no product key!"

After that had occured, now running TurboActivate.exe actually did allow me to enter a product key as normal, and everything was fixed after that!

So it looks like this machine is back in business. The key here, is that I had to run "CheckAndSavePKey" in order to "clear" the key when it fails, which allowed me to then re-activate and be on my way.

Thanks
