Hi
I have a BIG problem.
I bought FXpansion and Obsidian effects - about £200 worth - at the end of 2000, and was running them on my Pulsar 2 card happily.
Recently I had to reformat my HD, and lost the serial numbers for these.
However, I do have my old P2 folder on my previous computer.
Can anyone tell me where I might find the
key numbers on my old hard drive?
I am using a G4.
Btw, I have contacted both FXpansion and Creamware, but to no avail.

Thanks
Maurice

Hi Maurice
The reg keys are stored in the file scope.rgy in the app/bin directory.
Open it (best do this with a copy) in wordpad, and you'll see the line (for example):
#(hardware ser no) Obsidian AnaChorus followed by a long number.
The key is the 12 numbers following the starting 0.
I don't know if these keys will work on your new installation, but I believe they're associated with your Pulsar card, so they should.
Good luck,
