Now I've got someone's attention. My computer was struck by lightning last may. I re-installed the program on my new machine but the old key I got when I registered for it and paid my money does not seem to unlock the program from demo mode. I emailed the designer of the program but so far have received no response. Its a real bummer since I need to use for gaming group next session.
What's the name of it? Also, is your old hard drive dead, or did the lightning just fry your mobo? You might be able to just copy over the config files if you can slave your old hard drive.

Its a program called NPC Designer by RPGAttidude.
my old computer was fried except the Hard drive. The hard drive was only thing that wasn't. (Believe me I saw the blue flash when it happened as I was unplugging it)I was able to retrieve the install program as well as original email with the key. The problem is when I reinstalled on the new Windows Vista machine the program will not unlock the "DEMO mode" even after I enter the key.I emailed the program's author but have not received any response in spite of the fact the program apparently intends to be updated to support Pathfinder.
I love this program.
But give the guy a few hours to respond. He's usually good at providing tech support in a timely manner.

Ok, Thanks. I hope he responds its been about a day.
I keep wondering if my new computer being VISTA has anything to do with it. I have hard drive from old computer hook up as using External Hard drive kit. And ran the program (just now) off the old hard drive hooked up to my new machine via USB and the program still seems to be locked in demo mode. Very Frustrating!

No, I'm running it on Vista. The deal is that every time you install the software, it generates a unique number, which has something to do with your install and the hardware its installed on. You then have to send that to him. If your install goes bad or you move to a different compute, he has to send you a new key. I've gone through the process a couple times now.
What Darrin said! I love this software.
