Hi Virginia:
When I click on -'Check for an update'- a box pops up saying I have to purchase a TMG v6.x serial number in order to unlock this upgrade. I do not wish to purchase an upgrade at this time, I just want to be able to restore the data file I originally created with version 5.
On the link you gave - whenever I download the v5.15.000 patch & run it a message comes up saying "If you apply this update, you will be required upon running TMG to unlock the program with a Version 6 serial number. Your V5 serial number is NOT the same and will no longer work." I tried the other patches (5.14, 5.13, etc.) with the same results.
I note that my original post said I had version v5.15. At first, after re-installing Windows, I just copied the old TMG directory back to the HD but when I had the problems I mentioned - I deleted the old TMG directory and did a full re-install of TMG. When I did this the version showed as 5.11.
Is there any way I can restore the data file I created when I originally purchased TMG? I'm quite happy with version 5 and I put a considerable amount of time entering all my family data into the program. If I hadn't had to re-install Windows I would not have this problem. Any help you could give me with this problem would be most appreciated?
