Trying to help a friend with Code Factory voices
|
Gerardo Corripio <gera1027@...>
I'm trying to help here in Mexico, who bought the Code Factory NVDA voices directly from Code Factory, and he's having the problem that he's sure he's installed the voices on 2 computers: home and work. They gave him a 3rd computer at work (a Laptop), and here's where the problem lies: He wants to install the 3rd license on his new Laptop, but upon typing in the key, the system talks about a 7-Day trial pmiod.
So where can he EMail Code Factory directly to see what's going on? And do you have how many activations with Cf 2 or 3? Thanks for any help you guys can provide. Gera Enviado desde mi iPhone SE (2nd Generation) de Telcel |

It's probably the trial demo. Since it's a 3rd computer. I believe three computers is your limit. However, do make sure that you deactivate the licence on say that work computer when not in use anymore. Because if it gets taken away from you, then you only have two license keys left.

Normally these companies are pretty relaxed if, for example a computer dies and you need to get a new install, I find.

So are you saying, that in the situation where one can't retrieve there license, Code Factory could give you an extra key back to your account? Obviously, one shouldn't abuse this and know before hand the limitations of the licensing system but if Code Factory can give you a key back in situations like a computer suddenly dieing on you then that's reassuring to know.

My friend was asking me if maybe when he updated NVDA and had to update the voices, he neglected to put the activation back on the server before updating, thus lost one of his keys upon updating?

I didn't do that, and I was fine. As long as your computer ID doesn't change, you will still have 2 keys, or is it 3? I hate the online system they have, it's antiquated.

I wish we could just go to a website and reset our own keys, like you can reset your jaws license keys.

As I understand the authorization system, it relies on the
synthesizer contacting the server run by the company to verify that
the product is registered once a month. That means that if the
server is down, if the user is not on the Internet for some reason,
or if the company goes out of business, the synthesizer won't
function until some provision is made. I haven't looked into the
keys question but I consider the need for monthly verification to be
a very serious defect. Once a product is authorized, it should stay
authorized.

Oh, I agree, however those of us who have contacted CF, I’m not one of them, I’m sure have gotten a lot of backlash re this method. And it’s not a matter of if they go out of business but when, as it will happen at some point in someone’s future.
