theboyrob Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Not sure if this is officially allowed but does anyone have an activation key I can use to activate the Railmaster software? It seems comical it isn't downloadable as a fully activated program as I have the hardware just can only use two loco's at once. Many Thanks Edited May 26, 2023 by theboyrob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Have you just downloaded the evaluation version? If this is what you have done then all you need to do is purchase a licence. A phone call or email to Hornby will resolve the issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyrob Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 Thanks for the reply. I have had a license previously, attached to the setup disc, which I no longer have. I don't wish to purchase a new license as I've already paid at the time of purchase of the product. 👍 if I contact Hornby I feel all they'll do it want to charge me (again) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 AFAIK you need the CD in the computer to make the software work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyrob Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 The CD isn't needed to run the software, the software is downloaded an an evaluation version from Hornby. You then need a license key to activate and get full use of the software (which I have misplaced). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 In that case you will either need find the CD you have 'misplaced' or open your wallet and purchase it again 😉 The provision of a Licence Key by anyone would break their licencing terms and is actually software piracy which if proven can lead to as much as five years imprisonment with a £5,000 fine (though unlikely in this case, but that is the law, and RMWeb would not condone illegal sharing of software) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyrob Posted May 26, 2023 Author Share Posted May 26, 2023 I'll stick with using my Dynamis instead 👍 Thank for your advice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAF96 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 In the RM folder there is a file called activate.dat, which contains your activation key and the email you registered with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
