FW: MetaStock CD Re-Verification?



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

There is a license verification needed 90 days after installing MetaStock
7.0. Generally installing the CD is enough. Apparently the Auto-run feature
started instead. The next time it asks you for the CD, hold down the SHIFT
key on your keyboard as you insert the CD and continue to hold it down for a
few seconds and this will disable the Auto-run feature momentarily. This
will allow the verification feature to read the CD without Auto-run
starting, when complete MetaStock will start up. This only needs to be done
once.
