Default using available licenses with efilive

Hey everybody.I bought efilive flashscan v1 from a memeber a while back and have just started using it. well there is one available license left on it but it wont let me use it because it says i need an activation key. i can see on the licensing screen that slot two is available and one has been taken up from the previous owner. should i contact efi live for a key or should it just be readily available?

Did it include a disc? I found my key in a text file on the disc.

Also being a 98, do you even need one? Pretty sure EFIlive can tune unlimited 97/98s without burning a license

Double check that disc! Mine doesnt look original either and it had the keys on it in a text file.

Post a screenshot of the license page.

Also, you need the registration key from the "blue" card... if you don't have the blue card, goto the EFILive forum and pm/email me the serial number of your V1.

The 98 stream should be enabled, but if it isn't, it can be activated with a code (the 98 stream is included free).

Is it possible that you have a 99+ PCM?

Wouldn't matter as he has a spare licence. What it looks like he hasn't done is register the software with the key.
