OK – I got it activated. The download versions I was getting were titled “videoproc.exe”. You can’t tell what version it is until it is installed. That exe installed version 8.5 and the code doesn’t work with it. I went back to the web page that gave us the code and above it, underlined, was “Download: SharewareOnSale_Giveaway_VideoProc_Converter_AI.exe”. I clicked on that and that gave me the correct exe file. We were all being sent the wrong file. Hopefully this will solve everyone’s problems before the time runs out for the giveaway. And thank you to the Video Proc people for sharing a lifetime program with us.
