ok well i lost the key but i still have the password file.
If you still have your original password file, then why don't you just "rebuild" the key file as stated in one of my earlier posts (I quoted how to do it from the support page):
Quote:
A. If you still have a valid Gamestudio installation, you can re-build your key file. It's a ZIP archive containing the files password.txt, ackutl.dll, bin\ackutl.dll, and bin\acknex.exe in your Gamestudio folder. You can find your password in the password.txt file.
I've never had to do this, but if those are the files required to unlock the demo, then why not reinstall an old copy of the demo (don't use the newest demo) and copy the files from that ZIP over to the 3DGS root folder? Of course, this is assuming you still have your old installation that once worked correctly and those files are present.

Yes, I am well aware that it may not be necessary to copy password.txt to the 3DGS install folder. I did not do thorough testing and examination in this case, or at least I'm claiming that I have not. The 'dated', pseudo-accurate information I provided was from memory, two constructed key files found in a 3DGS archive directory, and at least one source. This is the source 'remembered': Quoting jcl (Conitec) from how do I get my key.exe again...Quote:
However, if your password.txt still exists and you still have the files ackutl.dll and bin\acknex.exe in your Gamestudio folder, you can re-create your key yourself. It's just a ZIP archive containing those 3 files.
This is only slightly different from the quote posted by Orange Brat.
In reference to the jumbo-sized icon image, yes, I believe that is correct, the directory / file structure of an old key.exe might 'accurately' be:
Code:
ackutl.dll
ackwed.dta
bin\
acknex.exe
ackutl.dll
ms\
cpi01.dll
password.txt
This is outdated information...!?

I said tried that but i get a cannot compile script error.
But I dont really care no longer, I'm not paying $25 Dollars to use software I already bought.
I know yall trying get as much profit as yall can but you are not getting anything else from me.
I can get some of the same results from other engines.
But like I said Thanks for the little help I did ask for, when i was here. But I'm done here.
Thanks Again

You don't compile a script it's just copy the files to another directory and create a archive. Anyways sorry to see your getting all upset because of your own mistake. Guess when you buy a car and loose your keys, you must pay for them too. You think because it's just software it can be created again and again, but someone must do that work and that someone needs to get paid  While I fully understand the "I already paid" part of your story. You forget you've also received your software and key after payment. What you do with it is your responsibility. Nobody here is trying to make as much profit as they can from you. The only people responding atm are members and they try to help. Have you tried to call/fax/email support about this? Maybe Conitec can help you without the payment if you explain in detail what happend and that you can't afford to pay another $25.- USD. I'm not saying they will do so, but if you have not tried yet. You might want do this before giving up so soon.
