Since Photodex closed down January, 31 2020, users are unable to activate their ProShow Gold (despite having legitimate registration codes) when they migrate to a new PC or have a hard drive crash. The final version of ProShow Gold is 9.0.3797, but as yet I'm unable to provide an activation for that version. In the meantime, a previous version 9.0.3771 can be activated and does not need to connect to the non-existent servers which has failed many users. This activation can be used on multiple computers. Please refer to the screenshots I have done when I installed Gold on my Windows 10 PC. I do not use ProShow Gold, I use ProShow Producer. I have posted this for friends who still want to use ProShow Gold, although it is not as feature rich as ProShow Producer. This is NOT a warez or crack site, it is simply for people at their wits end who are legitimate users of ProShow Gold. I am not depriving Photodex of revenue as the company has long gone off the scene, but many people still like using ProShow and find they can't activate their legitimate registration codes and therefore cannot "register" the software if they've had a crash or shifting to a new computer or laptop, etc.
I would recommend contacting them right now to see if your old registration number is still valid, or securing your current valid number, and while you've got them, ask them how much longer their validation server will be active.
I guess I'm going to have to hang out on that forum. I was of the mind that even if the registration servers were some day removed (which I fully expect to happen sooner or later), a properly activated copy of the program would operate at least until it became necessary to re-install it.
