I just purchased a new copy of DVD X Copy Xpress and when I go online to activate it it says "You are trying to activate with an ID and passwerd registered for another software." Does anyone know where to go and get the new activation codes? I tried 321 studios and they stated I would have to go to the software vender for support. I would really like to be able to install and operate this software. Could anyone help me? Thanks!

Well the thing is ... 321studios doesn't support ripper versions anymore(court decisions). So what you could try doing is emailing support@321studios.com, give them your current license and password, and ask them to issue you a RF(ripper free) license.

Now if they reply with that again ... then it's possible Sofware Nevada is selling pirated copies and you would have to contact them.

Some interesting information. My first DVD back up software was DVD X Copy1.5.2 which I bought as a download from 321 studios. I still keep the link for downloading that came in a e-mail from 321 studios and it is still active and lets me use.

I know people were selling their already activated software on ebay. Once it's been registered to someone you will have a very hard time trying to register it again. Your best bet, email support@321studios.com, and provide them with proof of purchase and see if they will re-issue you an new license and password. good luck

I was using version 321 and tried to update. The update wiped the original version out so the whole thing was usless. After asking for my money back they let me re-register the 321 version. Mine works great. Another one I use is DVD-to-DVDR. Their update supports up to 8 GB

I, too, need help if anyone can provide it ... I reformatted my hard drive and don't have my original license ID and password. I have emailed and called 321 and am told they don't support the software, period. I think it is outrageous that hundreds of people are abandoned after buying this software. If anyone can tell me how to reactivate my software I would be ever so grateful!

Dont sweat it; Just down load DVD Shrink & DECRYPTER this is freeware and it work just as good if not better then dvd express. I have dvd express and have not used it in over 6 months. Just remember everytime you buy software write down all numbers and codes in a note book.

SailsElan ,
Here is the info for the free programs and depending on if you have Nero how you can burn the DVD. Since you can not activate 321's products you will might want to try these. Homemade guides are included. I have had no problems using these program to backup the DVD's. You have nothing to lose. In case anyone wants to know your activations on 321 products are re-set to 10. How long that will be good is up to how long they stay in business
***********************************
1. Download DVDDecrypter www.dvddecrypter.com ( FREE ) This is your ripper. Insert DVD in DVD-Rom drive. At top make sure it does whole movie and saves to HD ( C:\ ) usually saves the file in the name of the movie.
2. Download DVD Shrink http://www.dvdshrink.org/ ( FREE ) This is your compression program. Find on the C:\ the files that were ripped. Once found click on the files and DVD Shrink will quickly analyze. Then click backup and you will go into preferences. Inside preferences there is a box to click so that you can burn in Nero automatically. After clicking O.K. DVD Shrink will do a deep analysis of the movie and then start the encode.
3. Download Nero ( trial version ) http://www.nero.com/us/suite.html This is a free 30 day trial ( expires on the last day of the month)if you do not own it. After the encode is finished the burn starts and you are done

No, you don't need Nero. Unless your pc is using FAT32 file system.
@Car.Mike
If you edit your post(don't change anything), and click save. Your Nero link will be right.
