i had encore 5 on my old laptop. when it stopped charging, i got a new laptop. installed encore and it asked for a license key. i have looked everywhere for it and cannot find it. π i have been having to learn musescore, and i miss encore. i also have a lot of old files that i can’t open any more. would love to be able to use encore again.
March 23, 2025 at 10:32 am #4043Well, it will depend on how broken is your old laptop.
If it still works when connected to power, and no longer on batteries, you can get access to your license key within the registry (in Windows) and most probably what is equivalent on a mac.What is your operating system?
March 25, 2025 at 11:30 am #4100Winter has gone. It’s springtime now…..
March 26, 2025 at 8:44 am #4102it doesn’t work when connected to power either. it’s windows. i’m going to try to get a replacement battery and see if i can start it up again and get the license key off of it while the battery has life.
March 29, 2025 at 11:57 am #4117Looking forward to it — as a long time Encore user, who has tried to migrate to Finale and Dorico, I still prefer Encore on my old G4!
March 30, 2025 at 4:43 am #4120Maybe we can celebrate J. S. Bachβs birthday and mine at the same time as Encore 6 is released
Tomorrow is going to be the big day! π
March 31, 2025 at 8:53 am #4122Happy birthday, Mario!
However, JSB’s anniversary was 10 days ago, he was born at the spring equinox, although in a place where the julian calendar was still active. But the calendar change dit not change former days.
March 31, 2025 at 11:27 am #4123Happy birthday, Mario!
Thank you very much, Andre!
I hadn’t expected birthday wishes. So I’m all the happier about it.Unfortunately, my birthday wish, the delivery of Encore 6, was not fulfilled.
April 1, 2025 at 4:40 am #4128Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685, but at that time the “Julian calendar” was still in use. The change to the current calendar (Gregorian Calendar) was made later. This means that many sources say that Bach was born on March 31.
In short: March 21, 1685 today falls on March 31.
We can celebrate both days! and If we had the Encore 6, we would be even happier!
Happy birthday Mario2!April 1, 2025 at 7:02 am #4130Thank you very much Antonia.
I am totally overwhelmed. And if Encore 6 were also finished now, then the world would be perfect. πMay 2, 2025 at 1:23 pm #4187I have been using the Encore Software since the early 1990’s, and continue to like it a lot!
As a College music director and teacher, I have a few work study students for whom I would like to obtain this software… and so have been awaiting the Encore 6 update over the past year or so.
But in fact, I am still using Encore 5, which is for the most part still a great tool. While waiting for Encore 6, would it be possible for us to obtain / purchase / download Encore 5 for my students?
This would be a great help for us, as we have several projects which depend on it; I’d much rather stick with Encore, than to purchase other available software!
Thanks!
May 2, 2025 at 1:32 pm #4188There is no way to purchase Encore 5 at this time.
May 6, 2025 at 9:36 pm #4203how does your 4 days left feel now?
May 6, 2025 at 9:40 pm #4204Is it worthwhile to download Overture to get a feel for the new Encore, since it relies heavily on the Overture code? I use Dorico, Finale and Sibelius already, so have no problem going that route if it would be of benefit while we continue to wait for Encore 6.0

Many choir directors, teachers, etc are sharing their regostration code with their choir members, students or friends.
This is for sure not matching the EULA (End-User License Agreement), and, in several countries, be illegal.However, when the owner of the rights does not/market distribute a product anymore, doing this (for free) becomes a “venial sin”, or a “minor offense”…
