I don't wanna find out the hard way I can only activate it once or such.

We are adding offline registration within your Core Account... you simply populate the info and it compiles an installer for you... We are working on that now.

so my coreavc workflow for today was;

delete the old install > get the new version > install the new version > visit recycle bin

Just found something about the activation in the corecodec forums from BetaBoy

- Activation occurs during the install process
- The registration is linked to your Core Account
- The registration is linked to your Windows OS

Downloads and updates will be available as 'self-serve' from your Core Account. For those that mentioned 'offline registration' or for those behind a strict firewall... Your Core Account will have an offline availability mode to download an installer compiled JUST for your OS.

Well thanks for the info, but could you please tell me what infos youre thinking about?
And can you please tell me if I am allowed to reinstall my Windows and still be able to activate CoreAVC? And all the other questions that still arrise here?

[Dregelmyller]

I am also interested in knowing what happens after reformat,
if i buy Vista or buy new hardware.

[oddball]

Erm. So when can I expect to recieve the goods I paid for? I have sent the relevant details. All I need is a download link and reg number. Is it really that hard to do?

Reinstallation will work with the same installer your downloaded no problem.

oddball... PM me the email address you purchased it with and i'll take care of it for you.

Changes from 1.1 to 1.2:
* $20 now $15
* SMP on 4 CPU now 2 CPU
* no limit/activation now max 1 machine

feels like I've been screwed (bought 1.1).

[BetaBoy]

The reason SMP changed is a limit of the current code.... once completed we will change it to a higher limit again... its just a matter of being upfront of the current limitation.

Ok, here is what I've been getting since 9am EST:

Unable to obtain serial number
from remote server. Please contact CoreCodec.Sales@gmail.com

I emailed the address right away and opened a ticket from my account. Danny emailed me back right away telling me to disable my firewall and run a tracerout. I did both and emailed him that neither seemed to be the cause.

Now there is another item appearing in my account with a new download link. The new link just takes me to a page that says "Error" and nothing else. I emailed a second reply a couple hours ago and still haven't heard anything.

[Romario]

That's strange. It's a very clear proof that CoreCodec is a foolish company. Their support to the customers is very bad.

I tried to download trial version, but nothing happens.

So why not don't you add a "* future support for 4 cores" instead of giving us the feeling that the license for product has changed. It would not shock anyone since the "*" is already used to announce GPU support...

Well, I must say I am quite disapointed with this release. I think you should not be surprised when you have created such high expections.

It doesn't look you have been working on the decoder all this time. It seems more you have spent creating your very popular activation system and working on some other projects.

The activation system would not be such a big deal if it didn't look like spyware: no information about its existence is mentioned. No warning is given when it calls home. In fact, I still don't have any clue which personal information of mine has been sent to your server. And ovbiously given the repeated questions of other people here you are not going to answer that question.

In fact wht I regret the most is the "yes" attitude giving us wrongly the feeling that you have been listening to bug reports:
- Where is the support for interlaced Elecard and x264?
- Where did you fix the black level problem ? the black is still grey in overlay and VMR9 and requires to use ffdshow to be reduced to a correct level. Which means that if we want to have a decent PQ we must sacrify extra CPU so globally the decoder turns out to be slower.

Oh well, maybe these will be fixed 6 months from now...

@BetaBoy

Thanks for addressing my problem NOT. It is almost 12 hours now that I have waited to log into my account because what Dan calls a browser bug. You are kidding right, you tested this bloody registration gizmo long enough to now find out you have a browser bug. 7 hours to get your emails out or we are done and PayPal will have a dispute to process.

We are answering emails as fast as we can... thx for your patience.

[BetaBoy]

For those that have had an issue registering when running the CoreAVC installer... we have identified a DNS issue that we have fixed. Now we need it to propagate.

[acidsex]

if we purchased previous versions, do we have to pay for the upgrade to 1.2?
