Hmm, you ever been accused of procrastinating? OK, you already have your answer.
"I did a test and confirmed that it does indeed stop working after 25 times (i.e. 25 program starts). Does any of the software offered here get around this problem?"
Hmm, suggest you download the version offered here, install it and find out. Do report to the site your findings - it helps the next person.
FWIW, the trial version is still readily available on eBay. If that's what you purchased - then no surprise it doesn't work. If you bought the full version, it would have come with product key(if needed). Period. No one was doing subscription licensing in 1995.
FWIW #2: There is a scene release of QB 3.1 - a CD-rip. The .nfo makes no mention of it needing a serial/product key.
May I ask why you would consider 20 year old software for doing actual daily accounting?
Winworld's focus is on preserving old softs. Hard to imagine that folks would come here expecting this scruffy old stuff to work as new current offerings.
Wow! A lot to unpack here. Hmm, seems a bit "Judgey" don't you think?
"Hmm, you ever been accused of procrastinating?" - Yes! and I'm VERY good at it!
"Hmm, suggest you download the version offered here, install it and find out." - My whole point was to avoid that. Surely someone here has that answer already.
"Do report to the site your findings - it helps the next person." - thought that's what I was doing in bringing up the issue.
"If you bought the full version, it would have come with product key(if needed). Period." - Nope! bought the Full Retail version. No Product key. Registration rqd.
"May I ask why you would consider 20 year old software for doing actual daily accounting?" -
Didn't say I was going to do daily accounting, did I? Old computers are 1 of my hobbies. I still have a perfectly good and working Windows 3.1 PC.
I paid good money for that program back then, and I wanted to see if it was usable.
Perhaps you would like to offer some criticisms on that too?
"Winworld's focus is on preserving old softs. Hard to imagine that folks would come here expecting this scruffy old stuff to work as new current offerings." -
What would be the point in preserving old software if it can't be used? Hard to imagine that being the position of Winworld.
Curious, are you speaking on behalf of Winworld, or just inserting your own opinion?
yup, surely they do.
Sometimes the point is getting it out there so others can make it usable. There are some titles here that require registration verification codes, or activation, that can not be done any more as the company is gone, no longer supporting the software, and there is no unprotect known to exist. This at least makes it possible for the more creative folks to take a stab at getting it to work somehow.
In the case of titles like these that work on a trial state for some days, it also still gives those interested in history the chance to try it out for themselves.
