Product Keys don't change, so as long as you are sure you are using the right Product Key, that worked before, it will still work. (But do check that you have copied/typed it exactly.) If you are having a problem with the Registration Number this will now be: 881887. If it is actually PP6 (not PPX6, which is still quite old) this is now extremely old, which may cause some problems trying to install/run it on a new PC.

If it really were PP6 it wouldn’t have a product key, since these were only added some time after the ‘X’ numbering was introduced. PPX6 runs OK on Windows 10.

You have a much better memory than myself! I can't actually remember what the first version of PP was that I used, I just remember sitting on the end of a phone for ages, trying to get some number to register PP so that it would work, while a marketing person tried to sell me other products! 😄

I very much doubt it, Paul, but I have a record of my product keys and they only go back as far as X4.

I had PagePlus Intro on floppy disk. Does that count? I certainly bought PP5 but I also have a vague recollection of using PP3.

Not just trying to upsell, but doing so while “waiting for” the registration key to be generated!!

Thanks Alfred. I went back and checked my entry and I was off by one letter. Alls well that ends well. Installed and up and running. I may upgrade one of these days, but I'm retired now and the old program still does everything I occasionally need. Thanks.

Glad to hear it, @RevSam, but credit where credit’s due! It was Paul who wrote:

Just as a point of information, if you had quoted the error code it should have been possible to find out where the error was.
