What happened to my restores?

I have not used the amount of restores your records show.
Could someone be using my number?

I read where if you run out of restores, all you need to do is let you know..

 Thats nice considering I plan on a lot of hardware activity shortly...
BUT
Where do I send a mesage to ask to have the restores fixed?

I have scoured the MC website and I can not even find an email to the company anymore except for collecting license $

I dont even know if this is the right place to ask about the restores...

Very confused lady,
Anne

[JimH]

Please send your name and e-mail that you used for the license to me as a private message.

I have the following restores for your MC11 license:

Mon Aug 15 14:43:45 2005

Wed Sep 14 08:25:02 2005

Mon Nov  7 15:42:32 2005

Tue Nov 22 19:42:29 2005

Fri Jan 27 00:54:08 2006

Thu Feb  9 18:08:34 2006

Tue Mar 28 01:57:12 2006

Does this look correct?

[Annie Sixgun]

YES it looks correct.... except for the one yesterday..

BUT there is supposed to be 10 a year and it looks like you did not restart the counter in January.

I most certainly will run out of restores every year if the account does not get reset each year.

Your restore gets renewed 1 year after you use it, Not at the begginning of every year.

Each Restore file is good for 14 days, and you get a 30 day trial to before you have to restore.
If you follow this, it would not be possible to use up all your restores...

[John Gateley]

If you run out, just post here...

Thank you John.  I appreciate the response.

Have a great day,
Anne

 Sir,  in response to your statement that a person can not use up ten restores a year........
..  In fact,  a person "could" use 23 restores a year !
  Consider a person that restores every 15th day for instance.

I do a restore of MC once a week "on average", sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on what kind of testing I happen to be doing.
   Thank goodness most of my restores are within the 14 days the restore code is good, ---  "run out of restores' --   yes I probably will , especially now that I am working with  VISTA.

Have a good day,
Anne

Eeeww!   
Thufferin' Thuccotash!

[John Gateley]

What ImJustaGamer was referring to was this scenario:

A restore is required. Instead of using it right away, use MC in demo mode for a month, and then do the restore. The restore is valid for two weeks, so if you need a restore in the next two weeks, you can use the same one. This means with one restore you get at least a month and a half of use. Multiply by 10 gives 15 months...

I thought you could not use "demo mode (30 days trial period)" more than once...

[John Gateley]

I'm assuming that whatever caused the restore to be needed also reset the demo mode stuff as well (which may not be a valid assumption...)

Yep.... This should be made a sticky for people to refer to... This seems to come up quite a bit,

If we made everything that comes up frequently sticky, the whole board would be pretty sticky.

Like The Floor In A Cheap Movie Theater, On a warm summer's day

I Remember a Movie Theater Here In Fayetteville, NC "The King Theater" It Was $1. Me And My Wife Went To See A Movie Once, And A Roach Was Running Across The Floor, And Got Stuck On The Floor Like A Mouse\Rat On A Glue Board.

The Theater Has Been Closed For The Last 8 Years.

We Never Did See The Movie, We Walked Out.

[JimH]

Funny.  Poor roach.

... A Roach Was Running Across The Floor, And Got Stuck On The Floor ...

As I'm not a native english speaker I need to use a dictionary from time to time.

From the American Heritage dictionary:

1) roach (rōch)
n., pl. roach or roach·es.
1. A freshwater fish (Rutilus rutilus) of northern Europe.
2. Any of various similar or related fishes, such as some North American sunfishes.
[Middle English roche, from Old French roce, roche.]

2) roach (rōch)
n., pl. roach·es.
1. The cockroach.
2. Slang. The butt of a marijuana cigarette.

3) roach (rōch)
n., pl. roach·es.
1. A roll of hair brushed up from the forehead or temple.
2. A hairstyle especially among certain Native American peoples in which the head is shaved except for a strip from front to back across the top.
3. Nautical. An outward curve in the leech of a fore-and-aft sail.

I guess you mean a cockroach or was it a sunfish on the run? 

[KingSparta]

cockroach

There are many types but mostly known in the U.S. Are:

American Cockroaches (Normaly Stay Outside), Brown Banded Cockroaches (Like to Lay there Egg Sack High), German Cockroaches (They Are Hard To Control), Oriental  Cockroaches (Normally Found In The Sewer, and have short wings), And Smoky Brown Cockroaches.

A Madagascar Hissing cockroach is a large, wingless cockroach from Madagascar, an island off the coast of Africa. They Are Often kept as pets And normally Live about 3 years. I knew a Girl Who Had 2 Of Them And Fed Them Bananas.

Cockroaches Are sometimes (Wrongly) called water bugs.
