Well.....shiiiiiiit. That lightning strike last week has really messed up my toys. My HD on my BI machine crashed this afternoon. Soooo, I put in a new SSD, put my Win7 OS back on, got all my PC drivers back on, just downloaded another copy of BI.....and now I am stuck at demo mode. Anyone know how I can retrieve my license key that I bought earlier this year?

If you purchased from this site it will be there in your purchase history, elsewhere then it will be be in the email you got when you made the purchase.


:blankstare::blankstare:That explains why I frantically couldn't find an e-mail @ 1:45 this morning containing my license key...........Cause I bought it from IPCT!!!:D Thanks for the reply. I would have never thought to look there.
 
That is the funny thing about ESD! It will take some time to discover what all is hurt.
For most people that do not know, Damage from lightning will not show all it
has inflicted sometimes for a extended length of time!
Yeah, tell me about it. Things are dying slowly, one by one this past week. Some of them showed up immediately and some of them have a latency in them before they go "poof". Hopefully, I am not next.....:idk::lol:
 
We thought we lost a Sony multifunction CD AM/FM Boom box kind of thing,,,, once after lightning hit the roof next door. It was quasi expensive back in the 90's.
Had only had it a few months. Seemed dead as a door nail. I couldn't let go of it right away. tossed it in a closet.
a few months later I was going to throw it out and it was showing a partial LED display of the clock. I thought WTF?!
So I plugged it in and thing started working again, but the LCD display had a few dead lines in the clock.
We kept it for a few more years until it was obsolete technology.
