I did not rebuild my computer. All the software I received free from here is still here. However, there were some username changes and creations (a mess trying to get Calendar to work). The result is that some of the software I got from GOTD and GGOTD are back to trial versions. It appears that all of Alawar is involved and at least the Advanced Registry Doctor as well. I am still trying to figure out what I have after this mess.
Is there any way I can get these back to licensed as I had them before?
As I said, I did not rebuild my drive. I did not over-write the applications. I created a new ID and copied the profile from my old ID to the new ID (as per Microsoft's instructions).
BTW - I am NOT happy with Microsoft over this. Tim never gave me the least hint that I would lose customizations of ALL my software and lose the licensing of these products. I have complained and I'm waiting for a response.
