Thanks everyone for your help and advice. Problem solved - until my memory fails me again in a few years. Though I have taken a note of my pertinent details and put it somewhere safe![]()
Hello @SaggyMaggyPoo,
I have a suggestion that might help you in the future. I would setup aFolder
. In thatFolder
I would put the following . . .
- The
.exe
file.- A
Notepad
file with the instructions on how to do this.- Include in the
Notepad
file a copy of theActivation Key
, theSerial Number
, and theCustomer Number
, just in case!- Copy the
Folder
to a couple of other locations in case one getsDeleted
.
I hope this helps.
Good information...I try to archive important information on all my software especially the ones I have paid for. That is how I was able to respond to the original post. You never know when you have to reinstall your software. I started doing this a long time ago after I got burned a few times.
BTW, VueScan has the following information in their help. This is also good information to archive with the other information about VueScan
How do I enter the information from my receipt?How do I enter the information from my receipt?
1) Run VueScan
2) Use ‘Help | About’ command
To do this, click on the word ‘Help’ in the menu bar, then click on the word ‘About’ in the list that drops down under the word ‘Help’.
3) Fill in the three boxes with the information from your receipt
4) You’ll get a message that you’ve purchased VueScan

Another safeguard is to back up your computer. All this program information you archive is of no use if the drive it is on fails and all the information is lost.
