I cannot find an adequate forum to post this question so I am posting here because of a similar thread I have asked a question on.
This morning upon starting up my computer (Win 7 Professional) it 'automatically' went into a 'chkdsk'. Yesterday I noticed that the VSUlitmate x7 desktop icon was a windows 'default' icon and not the Corel icon. BUT, the program still started. Now I am wondering if the Corel licensing software has finally caught up with me and is causing problems.
I am having to consider purchasing a new SSD and a new install of Win 7 Professional on it. Once completed with the OS install I am wondering the following. When I go to install Corel VSUltimate x7 and PSP x6 will those two programs be installing any licensing software - particularly Protexis? Are there any safeguards that I need to be aware of? Is there anything that I should do with my current install relative to licensing from Corel? I think Protexis got onto my system back when I used to have PSP x3. I have been trying to get Protexis off of my system or disabled. But now, since the chkdsk, I am wondering about a whole new OS install on a new SSD.
Please do not lock this thread. I am trying desperately to solve a present problem and prevent a future problem with Corel licensing.
Thanks, Dekade
You can disable it under Services and the display name is Corel License Validation Service V2, Powered by arvato. The file folder is located.
I have never received an answer, or a reply of any sort, on that question and now I have entered into a different (but yet somewhat associated) problem relative to that question.
