LICENSE REGISTRATION ISSUES
After closure, registered users
who need to install FoodWorks on a new computer will be able to do so by
using their CD or their backup copy of the downloaded installation file
(FW18download.exe). When a new installation of FoodWorks is run for the
first time, enter your license serial number when prompted and then enter
key code
8765309 in place of the number in the box on the Registration Reminder
window. YOU MUST HAVE ADMINISTRATOR RIGHTS ON THE COMPUTER to enter these
numbers, or have started FoodWorks by right-clicking its icon and choosing
"Run as administrator" from the sub-menu that appears. Errors (especially an
error 75) indicate that you are not running under administrator rights.
See your IT department for assistance with rights issues. Support will no longer be available for any FoodWorks installation issues
after closure.
LOCATING YOUR FOODWORKS SERIAL NUMBER:
You can find your serial number by opening the Help menu on the FoodWorks main
control panel and then choosing About FoodWorks. Or, just click on the “chili
pepper” icon at the left of the FoodWorks Main Control Panel. The serial number is
also
found in your download confirmation email below the receipt. If you
received your FoodWorks by mail, the serial number is found inside the CD
case on a white label below the CD. If you have an older version of
FoodWorks that was packaged in a box, the serial number is found on a white label on the
bottom of the box and on the flap of the CD envelope.
