321 Studios shuts down

article published on 2 August, 2004

321 Studios, the makers of the well known X Copy backup and authoring solutions has shut down its operations.

It appears that the 321 products are still being supported. The link to look at your 321 products is: http://secure.smarterimage.com/solo/customers/

321 Studios reset activations to 10 before they went under.

The above link was the one that always was used for product support. However, instead of 321 Studios being listed, it is DVDXCOPY.COM.

DVDXCOPY.COM is for out of country support of the 321 products.

All activations should have been reset to 75. Login here:
http://www.321studios.com/support.asp


As of 8-3-04 you can activate online and if you choose activate from another computer you can put the activation file on a floppy. Do this for all ye product and get several activations and rename them so you can save them on the same media. It appears that they gave us up to 75 activations today but you should be able to clone the same activation. This way if you format you can still activate. but you better activate today if you want to use it.

IT HAS TO BE CLEAN INSTALL OF PLATINUM..
WHEN THE REGISTRATION WINDOW COME UP ASKING FOR YE LICENSE AND PASSWORD YE SELECT REGISTER FROM ANOTHER PUTER..

NOTE YOU MUST INPUT YOUR LICENSE AND PASSWORD THEN SELECT REGISTER FROM ANOTHER PUTER,THEN FOLLOW DIRECTIONS

We purchased via retail two 321 Studios products, DVD X Show and DVD X Point, and now cannot get them activated. Neither of these products were the source of contention.

Any suggestions ??

@Mickey11,

Can you login to here?
http://www.321studios.com/support.asp

If you can, use that password to activate. And double check you license info.

If not, you should contact the sellers of the software.

Thanks Flip, it worked!
The process was slightly different for X Point, but we still succeeded in activating both apps. Appreciate the assist! With 3-2-1 tits up, looks like users will need to rely on one another for support.

Valenti et al got fat from your dollars, with the prices they charge for their products. Now to show how grateful they are, they are sticking it to you.
I guess that it is fair comment on your views on life, as it is seen from the colonies.

I cannot get my X show to register. can someone please help?
I tried going to the links posten in earlier messages but they are all dead ends. Does anyone know where to find the author of the applicaiton in order to 1) compliment him or her on such a fine program and 2) to see if there might be any further development but perhaps under a different name? I would buy the application again if I could know that I could get it to function again.

Any help / support would be very welcome at this point.

Why don't you use the free programs DVD Shrink, DVD Decrypter and stop trying to get around not paying for a program.

I do believe that Cracks and work-arounds are not a good topic for discussion in a public forum - trying to evade a lock to personally gain and prevent a company from profiting is not a good thing.

However when that company has gone out of business and has openly made it very known that they do not want anything to do with a past product anymore then I can't imagine who would get hurt if there was a crack or work around published.

As I had asked once before in one of these public forums, if the author of the DVD-X-Show would kindly step up and be identified I would personally like to thank him for the application and find a way to perhaps pay him (or her) for upgrades and support.

Can I be any more open about this??

I know of a half dozen other people who currently feel the same way - I even have their names and mailing addresses for what it's worth and I know that all would be willing to offer support to the author.

But until this person steps up to be identified, if anyone does know a way around the registration block - so that we don't have to hassle the group who is currently graciously volunteering to help with this, then please count me in.

Respectfully, Mike in Maine

If XCopy International will not help then your screwed. None of us know who the author is, at least I don't know of anybody who does.

And Yes, it may not hurt in your eyes ... but still asking about how to obtain a crack is against forum rules.

If you must find one search for it yourself.

MaineMike just cause a company goes out of business doesnt mean that its a free for all for everyone to crack (STEAL).The goverment put them out of business.thats like putting a rock though the window of a business thats closed and taking everything you want.dvd x copy is over,outdated and is never coming back so move on to other programs and forget it DVD Shrink and DVD Decrypter is freeware and AnyDVD is the best program i ever used and its has LIFETIME UPDATES. and the quality is better than x copy of all these programs.
