Patel Accounting Ver 5.0

Hi guys, hope someone out there can help me out. I have a friend who was using Pastel V.5 on her machine but the hard drive started making knocking sounds. I changed the drive for her and reinstalled everything but ran into a snag with the pastel. Sage has discontinued this product and wont issue an authorization / registration code for it again. It’s a legit package and all but its running on a 500Mhz PII with 128 SDRAM and now a 20GB HDD (had a 4GB). Even if she could afford the millions of dollars they want for the upgrade package, her machine will never handle it.

So my question is: does anyone out there know how to register or get around the 200 transaction limit on PAS5?

Thanks in advance!
