Hi,
I recently found my serial code for this game, but unfortunatley, I do not have the disc with me. Where can I get the trial demo to register? The http://stars.lelv30.net/ links to the demo do not work.

If you don't get the full exe just PM me and I'll mail you a copy with the help file.

To register, you just have to feed in your serial code. If you're sure you typed it in correctly, then you code will be a blacklisted one. It will work with version i or less, but not j  Unfortunately this doesn't mean your code is illegal as I've heard of a few legit codes having this problem as well.
Edit: umm and make sure you have write access to c:\windows\ or whatever is your %windir% (where stars.ini is) because if you don't have write access then it can't record your serial code and you'll have to type it in each time...if this is the case its merely a hassle and doesn't affect gameplay at all...I used to run stars from uni like this just fine.

Keep in mind that the serial number is case sensitive. Mine has only capitol letters with a few numbers. Verify that you are typing in the serial code with correct case.

After you have closed Stars!, look into your Windows dir. If there is a file called "stars.ini", you have write access. In this case, there must be another problem like a non-legit serial code.
|
And in case you don't find a stars.ini file, create a solo game, gen a turn (hit F9 IIRC) and see if you get the ursurper messages ... if you do than you have a non-legit serial.

*sigh*... It appears I do have a non-legit serial code. I don't understand how this happened, as I've had the code for several years and never really shared it with anyone. In that case, how do I get a new serial code? Seeing as how the Stockmann Academic Bookstore is closed and its no longer being sold by Empire. Is my only option eBay?

Be aware that the serial numbers are case sensitive. Mine, for instance, is all upper case letters with a couple numbers. Make sure you're typing it in correctly.

I'm wondering a little if any of the serials actualy used lower case at all (considering the fact that mine was all upper case). Try entering it all in upper case and see if you're problem goes away. As far as I know there aren't any places left to buy serial numbers. The Academic Bookstore is here where I live in Helsinki Finland. It certainly is not closed but, from what I've heard, they don't have any more serial numbers.

I actually have an extra serial... I lost mine bought a new one from someone on SAH, then found the old. If you'd like to buy it <snip>
|
And if snoopreg doesn't want to buy it, I know someone who might (and doesn't want to pay the outrageous Ebay prices for a serial number that might not even work with the j patch).
I'm wondering if that would be a good sticky or forum to put somewhere - a market for the now limited supply of serial numbers - it's more likely though that Ron doesn't want to take the risk of getting caught in the middle if someone does something fraudulent.
|
If supply of Stars! serial numbers is limited, and if Jeff permits, is not it better to just open the Stars! from any registering in general, after limit is reached?
Also, I remember there was a key generator created by russian Stars! players. I wonder, why stock is limited, if new keys might be generated at easy??? Thats out of my understanding, or somebody really wants Stars! slowly die... 
WBR, Vlad
