I have been running MFR v7.3.0 for several years, after an upgrade from MFR6.

Today between morning and afternoon it de-registered itself, and wouldn't re-activate.  I re-acquired my Personal Code and License from the activation server, but those failed (see below).  I uninstalled v7.3.0 and downloaded and installed v7.4.0 - but that too won't activate.

The symptom / cause is that MFR Reg box shows the wrong Personal Code and I can't change it!

I rely heavily on this tool and have elaborate presets designed.  How can I clear the slate and get going again?

OK, that worked.  Very glad to have this great tool working again, thanks!

I hope that if you decide to stop supporting MFR, you will do something so that your paid customers will be able to keep using it forever.  Or maybe even freeware so that everyone can.  It's way too good to just fall out of use.
