so ive been sitting through four months of pc problems. i was in the middle of fixing on minor things when my old pc stopped reading all my HDDs. the drives were fine, all info saved, but something with the raid card went wrong and with it being 3 years Dell sent me a new prebuilt one (new, upgraded from my old one) due to the warranty.
but now im sitting here after getting all my drives read and remember that all of my vocaloid product couldnt be deactivated due to my old pc crapping itself, as im copying over old files. so far i have only attempted to start vocaloid1 and vocaloid5, both tell me i need to activate the programs and obviously when i do with the code in my emails, it says it has already been activated on a different pc.
strangely though... i do recall having this happen years back with my vocaloid 4 (at the time i only had v4) and i dont recall having any issues when i lost all my drive contents and had to move to a new pc. i havent also tried using v4 on this pc yet so idk if itll work or not. as said i only tried v1 and v5.
regardless i really need some help on what direction to go in to fix this! i have vocaloid 1, vocaloid 2, vocaloid 3 banks in v4, vocaloid 4, and vocaloid 5. mostly afraid of not being able to recover my oldest ones.. i will try to contact support about v5 as i have all proof of purchase so maybe theyll help with that...? if theres anyway to force deactivation/activation on a new pc or wipe it or something idk i really need to know.... i cant imagine i am the only person unable to recover authorization before and losing authority of like 12 voicebanks is not ideal here...
to clarify i had to install windows (7) on a new blank hdd and i am pulling content over from my old main hdd.
