I purchased PhotoPaint X3 many years ago & have built/rebuilt my personal PC a few times since then.
I never had a problem re-installing PP X3 until today. I just replaced my mechanical HD with a new SSD. I can't launch or activate PP X3 this time. A window says I have reached the maximum number of times to use my serial number! I never realized that Corel had a limit. I only use it on one PC.
Please advise me what to do about this. I know it was a few years ago, but I paid good money for the program. I didn't know it had an "expiration date".
Well TBoyd I think I would give Corel a call and talk with a rep. and see what they say. You can go to the "Corel.com" on the menu at the top of the page and get a phone # or email them.

I'll have to do that. I could not find a number on the support site, so I may email them to see what they have to say.
Thanks.
I tried to email them with my full explanation. The product selection drop-down menu does NOT include X3 versions. I was forced to select X4 just to get my form accepted - then it stated I must register my product before they would communicate an answer! My product registration for X3 is still in my account.
It is obvious that Corel is not interested in helping people like me with an older version. I can't call the 877 number they have listed. Apparently Corel does not have their 800 number to cover the US Virgin Islands.
This is frustrating.
TBoyd they only support a ver. for so long, If you went back to the OP. Sys. that they did support when you first bought the X3 it may load? But it maybe time to bite the bullet and up grade.
