W10 Losing my software licenses

[jones123]

hi all,
So 2 weeks ago i reinstalled W10.
reinstalled all my software with valid license keys ( anziowin and emclient ).
Was running fine for 2 weeks then since monday it keeps reverting to demo mode and even entering the valid licenses don't work.

any ideas as to why this is happening ?

Thanks

Did you use a registry tool? Of the software I use I had the situation where I had to contact the software company per email and explained to them I did an upgrade to my system and had to reinstall my software. Then normally they allow the keys to be authenticated again.

What I did notice before the 20H2 update a while back was USB 3.0 ports got buggy and I had to reinstall my office package. Upon checking my registry I noticed a lot of my software keys was missing. This was due to KB4586853 I am not sure if it is a thing anymore but some updates seems to mess with the registry. I actually went over to win11 because of this.

I did try iobit uninstall. Ccleaner. And Revo. Then reinstall. But no joy. I have now manually search and removed folders in registry and will reinstall amd then see.
Thanks for response

manually removing the folders from the registry allowed fresh installation and license to work
