I installed quickbooks 2003 pro UK version realease version 2, five user on five machines on a local area network supporting star topology. The installation was smooth and i had no problem with the installation keys or using the software in multi-user mode. The problem arose during registration, since i had only one registration key which i was made to bliv should register on all the machines without any hassle but the registration only registered on one machine and is giving an invallid registration message on all the other machines and leaving me with only 14 uses on all the rest, the QB help desk are asking for money which i dont have, could anyone be having the registration keys or an idea of how one can go round this registration headache. PLEASE I WILL APRECIATE ANY HELP.

So you purchased a single user copy of the software and installed it on 5 systems?

And then you registered the license on 5 systems?

And now the vendor is pursung you for additional monies for the licenses that you have used?

And you have no money, so you came here asking for registration keys?

My answer, in the great tradition of Mad Magazine, and sung to the Genesis tune of Illegal Alien:

"Got it on my computers, was feeling real good
With the new program and the key, I register it too
All was good, so I head for the door
With a bottle of tequila, and a new pack of cigarettes

I got a call at the desk and it wasn't a friend,
It's the software company and they want their money
I say I got no money, so I come to TechRepublic
Now don?t tell anybody what I wanna do
If they find out you know that they?ll never help me through, cos

It?s no fun being an illegal software pirate, no
It?s no fun being an illegal software pirate

Down at the office had to explain to the boss
Why the inspector police man was coming down,
Lennie Briscoe and Michael Logan banging on my door!
They say I am gonna get to make some new friends at the Big House!
I don?t trust anybody, least not around here, cos

It?s no fun being an illegal software pirate, I tell ya
It?s no fun being an illegal software pirate, no no no no no
It?s no fun being an illegal software pirate, I mean it when I tell ya that
It?s no fun being an illegal software pirate,
An illegal software pirate, o.k."

Break into the store where you purchased your software at and take four more copies.

They have it coming to them, as their sales rep would never tell you that you could buy one package and install it on as many machines as you can get your mitts on. How stupid do they think you are? Do they expect you to go to a PUBLIC posting and ask for an illegal key?

They have to know that you would never be that STUPID? It is insulting to you for them to even make such an assumption.

(I don't think I will rate the whole 100 points offered here, do you?)

you might be able to get the keys by going back to the store where you purchased this software and buy 4 more copies of it each including a registration key.

If you BOUGHT 5 licence keys or 5 separate copies, you will be able to install 5 copies.

If you bought ONE licence key and downloaded 5 trial copies, you can download new keys from here.
