  • in reply to: Mac OS and Encore #4171

    A library move from one system to another is probably not sufficient, a few things need to come “inside” the system. You need to reinstall.
    If you don’t have the installation file anymore, please send me a mail and you’ll get a download link for an installer.

    You’ll need the registration code, though.

    Mike, I have a single page with Windows and Mac versions, so that I don’t really need to know. Jack70N was answered end of March, I think he has everything OK.
    Actually, I have 455 only for Windows, but I hadn’t yet anybody needing it for Mac.

    What do you mean by “the OP” ?

    I have something in that area… please send me a mail

    in reply to: Music XML #4143

    What I understand is that a new XML version is an upgrade to the old one, so that all old tags and parameters remain valid. There would be new tags, of course, but linked to functionalities which are newly supported – which are probably not the most used ones.
    I’ll suppose that new markup tags, properly opened and closed, are due to be ignored by older levels.

    Similarly to html, where several levels peacefully coexist.

    “I just signed up to say this. I have found a working serial number
    922185-u0v827-732483-038877-000077-561479”

    I saw that one on the web. Looks like an “unofficial” distribution. Such serial numbers only work with some cracked program copies.

    in reply to: Desperate for a serial number – Help?? #4127

    AFAIK, this is not an Encore serial number

    Happy 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.

    As far as I can see, Encore can read MTS files (as generated by MasterTracks, there could be other usages of this extension).
    You could send me one to make a test.

    in reply to: Encore 4.5.3 trouble #4107

    Bart,
    Yes I found it and I’m busy putting it on my site. Send me a mail so that I have yout e-mail address (mine can easily be derived from my user name here).

    in reply to: Encore 4.5.3 trouble #4105

    I cannot be specific for Encore 453, but I have a copy of 455 which, still today, opens normally on Windows 11. I think I have an installation file for 455, I’ll see to add it on my download page that I can send you on request.

    Encore 5 will definitely open Encore 4 files, otherwise nobody would have migrated from E4 to E5. There is some older level which could not directly be opened, it required an intermediate step, but I don’t remember which that was.

    That I remember, the license keys distributed with new purchases in 2006 or 2007 were accepted in Encore 5, but older ones were not (but were in E455, I guess).

    Now, it is not possible nowadays to purchase an Encore 5 license, since PassportMusic stopped business in the 2021/2022 timeframe.

    Greetings from Belgium

    Sent.

    Well, 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?

    in reply to: If you moved on from Encore, what are you now using? #3946

    Gary,
    For sure, support for Encore has been formally discontinued when PassportMusic stopped business, wasn’t that in 2020? And it was already extremely minimal when a so-called “Revived Passport” took over from GVOX in 2023.
    The new Passport owner has never indicated he would support Encore5 – which I understand.

    A few users here are trying to help other users in this forum, on a best effort basis, but we are unable to help on formal registration matters. It is probable that we are still bound by the license agreement we signed in the past, and that it would not be legal to publicly disclose registration keys here.

    On Windows, the registration key is stored on the registry, at a well-defined place, and I guess that on Mac it should be similar. Recovering it may require some recovery copy of the registry.

    in reply to: MusicTime file import #3942

    The question has been raised here, and I have answered, but the software of this forum is so poor, finding a past information is like searching a needle in a haystack.

    AFAIK, there is no format/layout difference between Encore5 and MTDL4 files, the difference which lays in the file extensions is somehow cosmetic.
    Don has confirmed here that E6 would handle E5 files, the MTD4 question wasn’t raised yet at that time. He comes on this forum only once in a while.

    in reply to: UPDATE – 1/02/2025 #3936

    Normally yes, Encore 5 runs as well on Windows 11 as it does on Windows 10. There have apparently been difficulties on some new systems (as opposed to upgrades), but there should be a solution by removing an (invasive) feature.
    First thing is to try, if you still have the installation file.
