Now I have the VHS-DVD 3 installed and working properly. Roxio, it doesn't have to be this difficult and painful!!!Īfter communicating with Roxio's chat support I was able to enable the program on my new computer, I was asked for some evidence of the purchase, fortunately I keep the box and disk of the original software. Even though they still sell this version online, it no longer has phone support so they refuse to let me actually talk to someone real. I'm on day 3 trying to convince Roxio how to fix this as they don't seem to have a clue. Now, a few years later, I bought a new PC and can't install this because of the same problem. My profile on Roxio identifies the original key that did not work. After 4 days back and forth between Roxio and Best Buy, FINALLY Roxio gave me a new Key, to work one time, so I could install the software. But I could not find one BB store that knew anything about it. The way it was supposed to work was they validated it at the store when you purchase. VHS-DVD 3+ purchased at Best Buy contained a 2nd BBY serial number.
