I have received the font package sent my Mike, and added it on my download page.
Send me a mail at andre(dot)baeck(at)gmail(dot)com so that I could send you a download link.
Installing a demo version, or a full version – even without a license code – would reinstall the Encore-provided fonts.
I guess it must be the same on Mac as it is in Win.
Send me a mail at andre(dot)baeck(at)gmail(dot)com so that I could send you a download link.If you bought Encore in the nineties, the license code might not work with Encore5. There has been a paying upgrade in the 2006-2007 timeframe which was necessary for E5.
Encore6 isn’t available yet.
Send me a mail at andre(dot)baeck(at)gmail(dot)com, so that I can send you a link to the Windows Encore5 “full” installation file.
I cannot guarantee that the license key for Mac would be accepted by a Windows version; I always understood that a single license was sufficient for both platforms, but some recent feedback got me become sceptical. Anyway, it’s worth trying.

I didn’t need to do anything special with Windows 11 (“Family”). One one machine, it was an automatic update of W. and Encore 5 and 4 survived without any particular action. On another one it was a new install of W11, I installed E5 without any special trick – entering the license key, of course.
Now, I think that, at some time, there was a also a shrinked version of W11, which tried to copy the intolerance of Mac’s against products not going through their official distribution channel.
Zensaba: “is there a way to be notified when it’s released?”
I don’t think that Don has a list of earlier orders, to send a mass mail when E6 is available.
From the forum, it would require that one of us would volunteer to maintain a list (of e-mails of) interested parties. Is it worth doing?
Actually, the administrator of this forum should have a list of forum subscribers, which could be useful for a first mass mail at annopuncement. But I’m afraid the only forum administrator is Don, and it is better that he spends his time to the actual E6 development.
“will not accept” ? error messages or other symptoms?
How did you install or move it on that machine?I haven’t found any 3d-party sites which are selling Encore 5 licenses, their own reseller licenses has vanished with the stop of business of the former Passport company.
The only downloads I have found are demo versions, which cannot be activated with a license key.The only thing which is possible, is to make a download version available to people owning a license key.
And Encore 4?
Users often have a large library dating several years, not to say centuries, with several pieces which never had to be updated.Bonjour Philippe,
Voulez-vous dire que vous pouvez ouvrir une partition vierge, la remplir manuellement, mais pas la sauvegarder?Quand vous dites que vous pouvez ouvrir une partition existante, pouvez-vous la sauvegarder après d’éventuelles modifications?
Si j’ai bien compris (en effet / non), cela semble être une perte de la clef d’enregistrement.
En choisissant “A propos” (“About”) dans le menu “?”, le bas de la fenêtre est-il une zone d’entrée de la clef d’enregistrement?
Tia,
Actually that score was created in Encore 4, back in 1998. The corruption showed up, in page mode, when modified in Encore 5.A dummy “Change Dimensions” in “File/Page Setup” fixed the problem.
If you have the registration serial number, we can help you with a copy of the Encore 5 installer.
If you didn’t care to register the save the mail on paper, you could find it on a back-up copy of your system.As of Encore 6, watch this forum, we don’t know anything better.
Hello Jim,
The question of legality/legitimacy isn’t easy to answer. We have a usage license with PassportMusic Software (eventually transferred from GVOX), and that company has stopped doing business. It isn’t totally clear if Don has, later, gotten a transfer of the whole company – including the licenses – or only bought the IP rights on the two products. He has said that he hadn’t the server with the customer base files. And he does not sell nor repair Encore 5 licenses.So, the legal status of Encore 5 might as well be that it has become public domain, as that all our licenses have gotten obsolete!
Assuming that the reality is something in between, I think that a usage license can always be given or sold to anybody else (as one can always do with a copyrighted book), but that may depend on the laws applicable in the country of the transferring party, which may supersede the specific license agreements (EULA).
If you expect a volunteer to rise up, you should indicate if you need a Windows or Mac version. If I remember it well, an Encore 5 license was cross-platforms, but the licensed material – including the serial number – is not. Best also specify your e-mail address.
As far as I understand (I don’t use MasterTracks) the “current” (but old”) version is numbered 6.
While the distribution file of Encore 5 was either a demo version (available at several places), or a production version which requires a serial number,for MasterTracks there was only a single version, which runs in demo mode till one enters the serial number.
Therefore, I’m surprized that you could not enter your serial number to activate the version you have. This should be possible on the “about” panel.If that would not be true, perhaps one of the current MTP6 users still has the installation file, and could share it with you.
