Windows 10: Monthly registration needed for paid version

I like to use an old programme, that has not been supported or updated anymore for years: Memories on TV Pro 4.1.2 (paid version). Still, an excellent programme.
Under W7 after the initial registration, it worked for years without further registration.
Under W10, it asks me every month for the registration data. Then it works again for one month.
Registration takes place in the programme and accepted by the programme without connecting to the internet.
I uninstalled the programme and reinstalled again, to no avail.
Of course it is a minor trouble to insert the registration key on a monthly base, but I am wondering what W10 does what W7 did not do.

Phone bill payment error (Vodafone India)

Hi,

I suspected as much a couple of other users have reported this not working with pre paid but user's on monthly billing seems to work fine.

This is something you need to check with Vodafone but I suspect this service is only available with monthly billing not pre paid.

I have also raised this on our end and am awaiting an answer and will get back to you once I get this.

Regards

Data Sense "Reset Button"

OK, I have to explain a little.

Because the app is designed to work on a monthly plan, a reset would be pointless .

However, what would be awesome is a second working mode. The app should allow selecting either the monthly plan mode or the pre-paid mode.

The problem with the pre-paid mode is that it usually works just like a monthly plan, auto-activating the pre-paid pack if there is enough credit around.

For not so common cases like Entegy's, it might make sense to have a reset button.

Sorry for my hasty previous comment!

 

I never understood why being in de administrator account, you sometimes have to start a programme by "run as administrator".
Doing that, and putting so your credentials, appeared to be the solution.

 

The reason is that even when you use an administrator account you run with standard user authority. You can override this when it asks you. If you have a standard user account you need to enter the password of a separate administrator.

If you download something and it says "Would you like this app to make changes to your device" then think about it. If you say "Yes" then it can do what it wants.

Using an administrator account isn't less secure (unless you turn off UAC for some reason) as long as you don't just say "Yes" to everything.

The reason that some programs need to run as Administrator is that they wouldn't otherwise have authority to what they need. Apart from installation almost no programs (except for some diagnostic utilities) need this and if a game or something asks you for this authority you should consider why and whether they are trustworthy.
