Some software authorizations are stored in an invisible file with= an inscrutable name.=A0

Some software with a trial mode installs = a file as well, and if you can find the secret file, deleting it can reset = the trial mode.

This is why a clean install resets your authorizations.

For good= reasons, the companies that make the software don't want these file na= mes or locations known.

But, it's very aggravating when you'= ve paid the license and you can't use your software.

Some authorizations for Ae plug-ins are stored in the plug-ins preferen= ces.=A0 Deleting the prefs can force the plug-in to ask you to authorize th= em.

That may put you back in business.
