So a few things. First, while I can block it from trying to phone home to the old servers, I need a way to be able to activate my 2014 GameDev again in the first place. It's still installed, it just won't activate. When I try to enter my existing serial, it just tells me I've exceeded the max number of installations and closes. I actually had this problem a few times in the past as even though it's literally only ever been installed on a single computer, every year and a half or so it would suddenly decide my computer is a different one and want me to re-activate. I actually had to go in and delete old installations on SmithMicro's license site a few times over the years so it didn't think I was exceeding my three. But now it won't let me do that, and I doubt it's even talking to the server in the first place. So I need someway to reset my licenses back to no installations, at least as far as my installation in my computer thinks, and then reactivate 2014 GameDev. Any ideas. Losing money every day because of this mess.
