First, make sure you have the right version of the program and the right program. A serial number and activation code for Anzio Lite 15 will not work with Anzio Lite 16. Likewise a serial number and activation code for Anzio Lite will not work with AnzioWin.
Second, if you are running on Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP and your program continues to tell you it is a demo or continues to show the opening splash screen with the countdown, even after entering the registration information correctly, then try logging in as an "Administrator" and then installing Anzio. Limited and restricted users may not have write permissions for the Windows registry.
If you are running on Vista, Windows 7, or Server 2008, try running Anzio "elevated"; that is, "as administrator". To do this, right-click on the desktop icon, then select "Run as administrator". Note that this is different from running as a user with administrator privileges.
Lastly, "Reg error" or "Registry error" indicates that either the user you are logged in as does not have Windows registry "write" permissions, or the registry is locked in some manner.
- If you are running as a restricted user, try logging and entering the license information under an Administrator login.
- If you are using remote registries, be sure you have permission to do this task; you may have to do this from your domain controller or server as Administrator.
