Indesits Partfinder

[johnnyhoz]

My partfinder has just expired and due to lack of work at the moment £50.00 is a lot of money for me.
Does anyone no how I could continue using the version I’ve got without upgrading or renewing it

I don’t know of any way that this can be done, although in theory it should be possible. However if anyone does, please use e-mail or PM to discuss rather than the forum. 😉

Re: Indesits Partfinder

i am still running an old copy with no probs but this was before partfind and fastrak discs were combined

have date set in 2001 and the disks cant tell. not had a later disk to experiment with but may risk £50 in near future

Re: Indesits Partfinder

I doubt that this is possible due to the fact that once Partfinders installed it writes a script file into your system and you then need to activate online with Merloni. As I understand it there activation process then compares the script file with there system date and time and updates the file on your system. If the two fail to corresponde I believe activation fails.

However I am just about to update my Partfinder and will try this and report back.

I too hate paying out ! cause I run it on our server network as well as laptops.

Re: Indesits Partfinder

not sure if this would work but if you do not let it expire but reset the date before it does see what happens

ie put it back a week each day to see if prog reacts

installed norton and had to reformat hd on pc , reloaded it and got an extra 6 months free perhaps it will work with partsfinder, just a thought/experience

Re: Indesits Partfinder

When partfinder is activated it writes to the registry (DO NOT GO INTO THE REG EDITOR UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING) in location [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREJVF Systems LtdPartfinder II] and the date is in the lic file in hex.

If you put the date back you can stop other programs from working
