Korg Monopoly keeps needing a new activation.

Any Korg Legacy users here.
 
I have the Monopoly and it keeps on needing reactivation. It seems I am not alone http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=65312
 
Anyone here have any ideas?

    Try right clicking on Sonar X1 when you launch it 
    and click "run as Administrator"

    Then launch the Korg program and enter the registration code...

    This should solve your problem...

    Thanks, I always run as Administrator. Its not that it won't accept the code. It worked fine for a long time, then suddenly kept saying it was not authorized. You re-authorize, it works for days or weeks, then, bam, you have to authorize again. The problem occurs as a plug in or as a stand alone.

    Hmmm...that's a good one...

    Have you tried a re-install...
    Sometimes installing new programs will change things that
    other programs depend on....all of sudden....they stop working

    Just a thought...

    Not related to Korg..

    I had similar experience with True Piano (full version). Works all along fine, then suddenly it asked for authorization code, entered and work fine, then next day asked again. Was heading to the website for support, but found there is an update, installed and problem solved.

    Well - it lost the last activation again, this time I downloaded and installed the program again. Fingers crossed.

    I have not used True Pianos for a while (I also have the full version). I just tried it and the authorization was gone. I have just got the update and reauthorized.

    Hi Glyn,
    I had the M1 installed for quite sometime and never had any issues with the activation. However, I just formatted my OS drive and in the process of re-installing all my software (including this).
    I'll post back once I'm done....(I'm also on Vista, but 32bit).
     
    I never updated (not sure if there were any) M1 since I bought it (possibly a year ago). Were there any updates you installed on Monopoly that may have caused this?

    No - no updates. I have now installed from a file downloaded from the website today, but as far as I know its the same version.
     
    Adding extra RAM may have been seen by the program as a hardware change, but that would not account for the subsequent losses of the licence.
     
    I cant seem to find any customer services contacts on the website and questions go unanswered on their forum.

    I have had M1 for ages but only fairly recently installed it on my Windows 7 64 set up (about 6 months ago).
    I have had no problems with this losing its authorisation - nor have I had that problem on any other program - having read the posts I'm wondering whether this might be a Vista issue - there were plenty of them so I understand! One of the reasons I "jumped" vista - XP to 7 for me.
    Just a thought

    Did you clear out all instances of the old versions and then install the software or did you just install?

    I have korg legacy and installed on my widows 7 system.  It was a new install of the korg legacy. I did not have this problem.

    Nigel,
    I'm also using Vista and had the M1 installed/worked without any issues for about a year. It has to be something else as others on the Korg forum are having this issue with Win7 as well.

    Well it was just an idea - does seem strange though.

    doriginal - when you installed did you ever get Legacy Cell working - I tried and tried but it would not work - not really a problem as all the individual synths work OK

    I have korg legacy and installed on my widows 7 system.  It was a new install of the korg legacy. I did not have this problem. 
    That's the next step, uninstall, clean the regestry, re-install. The last activation has not survived a reboot.
     
    @Nigel - I have been using Vista 64 for a long time without any OS related issues, post service pack 2 it is a very good O/S, most of the issues were due to a premature release and the slow release of vista drivers and compatible software from third parties.
     
    Monopoly worked fine for a long time, almost a year, before these issues started.

    I downloaded M1 from my Kork account and installed it back on my OS drive. I used the same authorisation # I originally had received when I purchased it and all is well.

    Glyn, I'm sure you've gotten this same info from Korg's email, but just wanting to make sure you hadn't upgraded your sys:

    If your License Code becomes invalid:

    Your current License Code may become invalid if you alter your computer environment (upgrading the Operating System in your computer, etc.) or if you replace your computer with a new computer.
    In this case, you will need to request a new Licence Code. Login at
    http://www.korguser.net and click "RE-ISSUE Licence Code" to receive your new code.

    It's possible that the original loss happened when I upgraded my RAM to 12GB, but since then I have been through the re-issue procedure several times and got new codes. The software sucessfully activates and works, but later, its saying its not activated again.
     
    I have found a suppport email address for Korg UK and have emailed them with the details. Fingers crossed.

    Just checked through my korg file and have found this address for you - I had a question re my Legacy bundle and he came back to me pretty quickly.
    You could copy him in your email to Korg UK just in case.
    Hope you get this sorted
    Cheers

    Thanks. I have received a reply from Korg here in the UK with some things to try. I have not had chance to try them out yet but I am impressed by the speed of the response.

    So far, so good, but its early days yet so I still have my fingers crossed.
     
    Korg support directed me to some files to delete after uninstallation, and strangely, had me uninstall and re-install my network adaptor before reinstalling Mono/Poly.
    I was impressed by the prompt and detailed email support from Korg's UK distributer.

    Good to hear Glyn. It certainly is unusual to have to uninstall/re-install the network adapter, but if it works.....that's all that counts. Glad to see the excellent support too from Korg (hopefully, I won't need it :)). 
    I really like my M1 and I'm thinking of adding more (like Mono/Poly) from the Legacy collection soon.
