Cannot register new Internet Security 2010

Hello,

I used to have a subscription through my internet provider xs4all.nl. Since I changed providers I bought Internet Security 2010, installed this on one of my machines and entered product key. This key was then apparently linked to the existing account, but I don't have any more the e-mail address belonging to it.

I then de-installed IS 2010 and ran the software removal tool. Installed IS 2010 again, but registration did not succeed. The product key still appeared to be linked to the xs4all account.

I made a new account, tried to link the product key to this account: no success.

I tried to change the e-mail address from xs4all to my current address: no success.

I did that again using an alias to my current e-mail address: no success.

My question is: what can be done now?

As I have two packages of a three licences IS 2010 to install on all of my six machines, I cannot proceed until I know how to solve this issue. The current subscriptions on all of the machines expires today!!

System: Windows XP (build 2600) SP 3

McAfee installed: SecurityCenter V: 9.15 - VirusScan V: 13.3 - Personal Firewall V: 10.3 - SiteAdvisor V: 2.9 - Anti-Spam V: 10.3 - EasyNetwork V: 3.15 - Backup and Restore - V: 3.15

Manoj_AR:

I completed a session and all is OK now. Thanks.

Ex_Brit:

Aarrgghhh. There is no such language as Flemish. There is only Dutch.

Nonetheless: I could conduct the session in Dutch allright - no problem. And the issue was set right. Thank you too.

I stand corrected...it's spoken in Belgium.  Glad it's OK.

No no: in Belgium about half of the people speak French and the other half Dutch. A minority speaks German.

Well I guess someone should correct Wikipedia then.  I'm from England and have been to the Netherlands many times so I'm fully aware that you speak Dutch.  I was only trying to be correct, perhaps I was being old-fashioned.

Officially there is only a Dutch language (and a French language for that matter). But you are right that we commonly speak about the people in Flanders as speaking 'Flemish', as the text in Wikipedia says it is a variety of Dutch, not really a dialect I should say. The Wallonia people also speak a kind of French that differs from the 'official' French. I guess you have the same kind of differences all over England too!

Thanks for clarifying that.  Yes, you're right, there are dialects for every area in Britain and even here in Canada where I now live.
