    This may or not be related to another question/post I have here titled Members Area - PE Download, https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=48727. There appears to be a problem, at least on my system which is a first when installing a DCS product. I downloaded it from the Members Area, uninstalled 1.8, re-booted and proceded to install 2.0. Everything went as expected until I get to the point of entering the unlock code, at that time I get an error dialog box and the code will not be accepted by PE. (see the attached screenshot PE Unlock Code Error.gif) Could this be caused by the file available for download is pedemosetup.exe?

    Hi Disciple, The demo is updated to the full version on adding the unlock code.

    Do you have an alternative browser that you could try?

    I simply cut and pasted the code into the PE code box and restarted PE.

    That is what I thought.

    I am using Maxthon, formerly MyIE2, which uses the IE engine. The UC is the same one I was given when I originally purchased PE.

    So have I. It worked great for the PG 3.0 beta, which is why it has me puzzled. I may try to re-download and do the uninstall/install again. If that does not work I guess I will e-mail DCS and wait until they wake up in Perth to get a resolution.

    Thank you for your help.

    Hopefully this will be resolved when Perth wakes up, Wayne did mention in another thread that there had been a couple of gremlins in the works :)

    I thought I saw a post that said there was some sort of a problem with the PG Unlock Code, but a search of the PG, and PE boards turned up nothing.

    Thank you.

    o_O Hi Everyone. I just tried to install the new version 2 of port Explorer. I also get the error message, when I input my unlock code. I tried uninstalling/rebooting/installing/rebooting/ twice, to no avail. I wonder what is amiss. I'll check for news after a bit. Cheers! :)

    waya, sorry to hear you are having the same problem. I just finished sending DCS an e-mail about this. Once they are in the office I am sure we will hear from them, and have a solution in hand. At least my install is running, even if is set to expire in 30 days.

    Hi,

    Apologies for the problem - it seems to be caused by a few user details in the databases and will be fixed shortly. Anyone with a problem can email support and we will fix you up immediately with a code :)

    :D Hi Gavin and Disciple, Guess what? I got mine fixed up. Apparently, I have two ways to log in to the Members area. If I use one way, I get an unlock code that doesn't work. If I use the other way, I get a valid code for both Process Guard and for Port Explorer. A TDS-3 icon is also available, though I don't need to update that one. I just uninstalled PE and PG and installed the newest versions of both, ie. (ver 2 and the beta version 3.) Both accepted their codes and are away to the races. I think that I must have used different e-mail addresses to buy some of the three Diamond programs that I have. Anyway, one of the e-mail and password combos takes me to a proper screen that shows all the software that I actually own. I have duly noted the proper credentials to use. Phew! A big congratulations on all the relentless work, fellas! Tonight I sleep good. ciao 4 nao.
    PS: Hope to see your smile up here pronto, Disciple.

    Yes we are currently fixing up people who have registered with different emails for different products. Due to the amount of registered users we have, we simple can't use the name of people as a unique identifier, since we have so many duplicate names. So we use the email address, and the people who have either changed their email or registered products with different emails are the ones who are having this problem.

    Please Blaze, please....
    Could you please send me first a message in such a case....

    OK, here goes:
    As far as I remember I bought Port Explorer for you somewhere in the past.
    I have to try to dig the emails up in the archive.

    Maybe you and me and Gavin/Jason have to solve this in private.
    Maybe the DCS guys need to make a fix in this situation.
    Are you OK that we try to solve this in private? ;)

    Cheers, Jan.

    For the moment I take a little time-out.

    Me too :'(. The guy above :D.

    FYI - I tried: Uninstalling, removing all traces of PE from the registry, downloaded a new copy of PE 2.0, installing and entering the Unlock Code.

    Sorry Blaze, you got the bad end of the stick again. :)

    Seems your unlock code was cut off shortly, it should be fixed in an hour or so.
