Okay, do you happen to have this installed on 3 machines? Or do you have a machine w/3 different versions of windows? Did you happen to format a partition that had zMUD installed on it w/o first unlicensing it? If you have it installed on 3 machines/partitions, then you'll have to unlicense one of them first. zMUD only allows 3 licenses active at the same time. If you happened to reformat a partition w/o unlicensing zMUD, then you'll have to wait at the most 3 months before eLicense recycles that wasted license. Hope that helped.

Well, I thought of that. But I have never installed zmud on any other operating system on any other computer since version 5.55. I now run 6.15 and i can't get it to license on XP. I was thinking about unlicescing under ME but I'm afraid it then won't work under either operating system. Not to mention I would like it to work under both of them anyway.

It seems that what you did is to first install it in Win ME and then you go to Win XP and try to open zMUD from where you installed in ME.
You need to install it under XP too.

I did this; however, i installed it to the same directory as to not waste space. I shouldn't have to install a copy of a program for each operating system. I have tried installing to a seperate directory, but it did the same thing. It would really suck to have to export/import to each copy of zmud.
