321 Studio Software Problem

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you can't re-activate it, the company went bust after lawsuits in the US. Another company bought their assets and closed the activation servers to make you buy new software.

You can search for a hack online, just be wary of keygen sites and check for viruses.

I suggest you contact the company here - they have a log in for genuine customers, they will be able to assist you.

A word of warning - are you sure you have a genuine copy? From their website...

Since DVD X Copy was banned for sale in 2003, consumers have looked for an alternative DVD copying program to backup their movies, and DVDXCopy.com continues to rank and update new copying products and versions as they are released into the market. The latest rankings direct you to the best copying, burning and ripping software programs. DVDXCopy.com has compiled a list from leading software review sites, software developers, blank disc, player and burner manufactures, and of course direct feedback from thousands of consumers.

DVD burning software titles vary greatly in terms of burning speed, features and ease-of-use. DVDXCopy.com's rankings include detailed product reviews on the industry's top rated disc burning technologies. The reviews also include assessments on each publisher's quality of customer & technical support, frequency and cost (of any) of software updates as well as each program's compatibility with the latest operating system technologies. DVDXCopy.com has tested over 50 software titles with a minimum of 100 test backup sessions per title. The results of this rigorous testing and analysis are posted above and are updated frequently.

A word of CAUTION: As stated above, authentic DVDXCopy software products are no longer being sold anywhere.
Many websites are selling fake DVDXCopy Software and fake 321 Studios products for $29 and under together with license codes and a separate free "activation server update" file or similar "patch" file, CD or DVDXCopy crack. These are not genuine DVDXCopy products, but rather cracks that destabilize your computer system and will not function properly.

Authentic 321 Studios software should ONLY require a license ID and password to activate.

If you are experiencing operating system failure or other technical issues relating to an "activation server file", "patch" or "activation CD", contact the seller directly for an immediate refund as this indicates a cracked version of the product. Beware of any sites that continue to sell any version of DVD X Copy Platinum (including version 4.0.3.8 or later) and that "guarantee" activation.

Software products purchased from such sites are not authentic, not eligible for support or updates and should be returned for a refund. Are you looking for an updated version of DVDXCopy Platinum? Click here: dvd copy software.

Do a Google search for "Brasso" and "CD-ROM", you might be able to bring that CD back to life with a little elbow grease.

ok you might want to add a little more background info. or if my though is right...... if you have your license id and password it should be all you need. if you paid for it and are missing something i would be e-mailing their support department to get it resolved

Hi there.
You will find the license key on the case or packet of the DVD X Copy Platinum software box.

Good luck and thanks for using Fixya!!

> where can I go?

Nowhere.

The company that owns the software has gone out-of-business, leaving all their customers "high-and-dry".

Switch to some other software.

Maybe you're already use the activation key or maybe you need to reinstall it.

Sounds like you may have been ripped off. The following paragraph may explain your dilemma:
"DVDXCopy was once the world's best selling copying software, but after being banned for sale in 2003, authentic versions of 321 Studios software are no longer available. Some websites are still selling selling fake "DVD X Copy" Software for $29 or less, but they are not genuine 321 Studios software products." -- SOURCE

321 went out of business several years ago as a result of a court order to do so.  The studios sued them for enabling copyright infringement for copying DVDs. 

 

A little odd that 321 got smacked when there are dozens of other outfits selling DVD copiers left and right unfettered.

 

You can google for 321 DVDxCopy and you will find a link to another outfit that will sell you a competitive upgrade to replace your 321 boat anchor.
