It”s a bit more difficult with Encore 4.5.5 than with Encore 5.
The fonts can be installed from the demo install.
I have some installation files, please send me a mail and I can send you a link, with some advise.It might be Anastasia, but I fear you will have multiple similar requests afterwards.
What I guess you did, is simply copy the product libraries from the old system to the new one. This method lacks the proper installation of fonts.
The best method is to run an installation package on the new system. It might be any level, even a demo version.
If you haven’t any, send me a mail and I’ll send you a link to a 504 installation file, which I think is at level 875.
Hello Mark,
Are you on Mac or Windows? I don’t remember a 504-809 level, but 504 should mean Windows.
Did you just make a copy of your former libraries, or do you have an 809 installer?If you still have access to your former PC, you should be able to recover the license key from it.
Open Regedit, and navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/PASSPORT/Encore/5.0/Registration
The last entry with name “SN” and Type “REG_SZ” shows the license key in the third column (“Data” or equivalent in your language)For some Encore levels, you may need to use GVOX or PassportMusic instead of PASSPORT.
From the beginning it was said that an upgrade of MTP would only come some time AFTER the Encore upgrade. But this one isn’t ready yet.
I have a FULL installation file of MTP 684 for Windows, send me a mail so that I can send you a download link.
As of the future, I understood that the upgrade of MTP would be dropped, since the functionality is present in Overture. I hope there will be something to import .mtp files.
Note: The software of this forum is so bad (or at least so outdated) that appends may show up only long after they were submitted (so that Mario’s one wasn’t visible when I wrote my own, for instance). And the whole shows up in a sometimes random order.
Are you talking about “one” encore file, a few of them of a whole bunch?
For a small number, you should try to make a friend who has a working version of Encore (even if it is on a windows machine!).Now, this is not everything. The XML support in Encore is very much outdated, and this particularly kills if you have lyrics.
A migration path would include making a PDF printout, which can often be converted using PDFtoMusic Pro. In evaluation mode you can freely convert one page at a time.
I also still have an unopened copy of the OS/2 operating
OS/2! When I bought MusicTime, in 1995, it’s on that system I ran it, since it was the one made available as home computer by my employer.
I have essentially cared for installation files of Encore, and not of MusicTime “de luxe”. But apparently I have some for MTD V4.
As far as registration codes are concerned, both Encore5 and MTD4 store them in the Windows registry, so that they survive very well over reinstallations, and can be browsed for a later installation on another machine.
But for Encore4 and MTD3, it’s totally different. The registration code must be given at installation time (each time it’s done again) and is not recoverable. But this process is a kind of decryption, and does not involve any interaction with a Passport server.
Please write me with enough details in you are on Windows. Join a sample score if appropriate.
Hello Doug,
There is a slight chance that the problem will shop up, then down, as accidental.But a bit more that something got broken in your Operating System environment. Perhaps fonts.
Would you tell us which OS platform you are using, and by the way the version/release of your MusicTime installation?
