yeah...i think the major tip off that it's a pirating issue is that no one who has this problem is using the most current version (as a crack has not yet been developed for the most current version) and jumping back a few versions (to the version that the crack was designed for) actually works...

if we're jumping to conclusions then i apologize and the issue needs to be brought to the attention to slysoft along with proof of purchase of a legitimate key.

until slysoft issues a statement on the matter (saying that this could be a bug and isn't due to people using cracks) then I'll continue to err on the side of caution and assume that cracks are being used and we shouldn't be giving advice.

so to those in the thread having this problem, your best bet is going to be to take it up with slysoft, not only because we do not believe you, but because if this is a legitimate issue, none of us have run into it before and are unable to help you anyway.

if any of you do get a response from slysoft on the issue please post it here and I will be the first person to apologize.
