Windows 10

PrintMusic 2014a v855

 

Needed to replace my computer, so I followed instructions for deauthorizing PrintMusic.  On new computer, I re-authorized on Aug. 13th, and all was well.  On Sep. 13th, PrintMusic wanted re-authorization.  I went through the Authorize screens, and got an error "...please check your serial number and email address and ensure there are no spaces...".  I went online to my account, and it showed the new "computer ID" properly (1 seat used, 0 seats available).  So I deleted this authorization, thinking I could start over.  I go through the pre-populated Authorize screens, and get the same error message every time.

As a test, my brother installed PrintMusic on his machine, and used my serial number and email, and it Authorized perfectly.  It showed up properly in my online account.  He de-authorized immediately.  It disappeared from my online account.  So there is no server issue.

I've tried completely uninstalling and trying to delete all traces of PrintMusic from my system, then re-installing.  The Authorize screens are still pre-populated with my serial number, email address, etc., and it still fails. 

I've also tried creating a new local Windows user and installing while signed on with the new user.  Still no go.  I've tried installing a trial copy of Finale thinking it might help (can't authorize it, of course).  PrintMusic still errors out. 

I've read that the authorization process needs ports 80 and 443 to be open--are there any special antiviral software settings or router settings that I need to deploy?

Any suggestions for purging/resetting PrintMusic on my computer such that it will re-authorize correctly?  Or is this something that Support must handle?

If you have any antivirus software running, disable it while you authorize. If that still doesn't help, I'm afraid you will have to contact tech support, and be prepared to wait for a response.

That appears to be the case. You are rebooting before each attempt, correct? If not, do so.

 

>"...please check your serial number and email address and ensure there are no spaces..."<

 

That might be the problem. Double-check the following: zeros instead of Os. Capitalizations, dash symbol - instead of minus sign - (yes, really) etc. Copying and pasting that info from your MM My Account and My Software pages might help.

 

If you cannot get this resolved, do contact MM Support through the Submit a request link at the top of the page. This being the beginning of the weekend, don't be surprised if you hear back Monday or later. Hopefully, Mike R's or my suggestions will help get this resolved sooner.

 

Using minus signs from the numeric keypad instead of dashes used to mess me up all the time. I don't recall that Finale was one of the apps where that was a problem.
