Hi Dennis,
You really ought to have contacted Daniel Spreadbury. Seriously. I
never bother contacting anyone else from Sibelius.
Cheers,

Did you really never get it activated? I emailed Daniel Spreadbury

he was happy to set me up with an activation using only my Finale
serial number.
No activation. I remembered on this list that it was only a simple
request, no
manual-ripping -- but not so for me. At first Zac Johnson refused to
activate
it, then it went to Peter Filipowski who wrote, "Tearing 2 pages
from a table
of contents is hardly an act of defacing, especially if it is a book
that most
people don't read anyway (not too many people take time to read
manuals)." I
actually have all the manuals and installation disks (I think I even
have
5-inch floppies) in new condition since 1993. The collector in me, I
suppose.
Before that, though, I had a frustrating exchange with tech support
(Feb. 23 -
March 3) even trying to get it to run; it would hang on the playback
engine.
There were several tech suggestions on their help site, but none
worked.
Apparently the program doesn't like some ASIO drivers, and they
finally
provided an ASIO blacklist file that let it run. But it's still a
slow starter
(and closer).
Ultimately the time to register ran out, and it's a $99 file reader
now. Way
to reinforce my lack of enthusiasm.
Dennis
