Hi folks,
Today a client called me telling me that an accountancy software is not working any more because it gets into DEMO mode.
They called support and reinstalled the software. Works for several hours then got again into DEMO mode.
What support told my clients and they told me, was that the value "CPU_COUNT" changes over time, and that's why the software got into DEMO mode. This software, as far as I know, register a lot of values of the hardware it's installed on, so if I register the software in a computer with, let's say, a P4 processor, and they change it for a P4 HT software will not work.
System is running Windows Xp Sp3, and where are not changing any hardware from it.
Does anyone know why CPU_COUNT value changes over time (I'm not over-clocking the CPU) and how I could solve it?
Thank you so much,
