Thanks for the input. I still haven't thought of that but I have some news.

First of all the problem is not the CD because the software developer I found out offers an upgrade version of it(if you have a previous program version) as a download which has the same serial series.

What I found out is that you need to refresh the serial number in the event you find it necesary to reload the program on your 'puter. Once it is loaded and running, you are
set. . . until the next time you have to reload it ei: something crashes, you get a new HDD, whatever. .
So it's a kind of a revolving serial number -every time you have to ask a new one from the developer.

This explains why I couldn't run it from my HDD I guess(the first time I installed it from my CD and that was the first)

I also found out that the serial number expires in 2
weeks if you don't use it, but I am not 100% sure about exactly.

The software developer also say that the installation software has the potential of taking permanent serial numbers.

I am very mad about it as when I purchased the product it wasn't stated none of this mess.

To do my job simple I already need of 1 permanent serial number.
What do you think are my options?Are there any ways to do it?
