Hi guys, I've been using various versions of PagePlus and other Serif 'plus' programs for 25 years or thereabouts and until this week, X8 on a regular basis.  The other day, PagePlus X8 crashed and kept on crashing rather than open up the usual start screen or .ppp file.

I have a new laptop so thought I'd load X8 to the new machine, but the disc was not with the others in its original case.  I have now borrowed a friend's PagePlus X9 disc but his product key doesn't work (and my old one is for X8.  I've seen reference to the universal key 881887, but the product key is five boxes of five characters, so I'm stuck!

I have 25 year's worth of graphic design work for my model-making hobby and without these I'm lost.  Hope someone can help and suggest what I can do.

Very many thanks in anticipation, Steve
