My Keycode is not working after I reinstall xcelsius 2008 in my new computer

Please follow the steps below to manually enter a valid key code:

1. Start regedit
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Business Objects\Suite
   12.0\Xcelsius\Keycodes
3. On the right, there will be a single entry named "Default". Double click on
   the "Default" entry and confirm whether the keycode is visible and does not
   contain any space before the entry.
4. If the key is blank, Add the key and close out of the registry.

Upon completing the steps above,  re-start the application

Hi,

can u let us know what kind of error message you are getting??

You need to have administrator previlages to run xcelsius. If you do not have administrator previlages you might get this error "Your Xcelsius keycode is missing or expired. Please enter your Xcelsius keycode:"

If you enter your key u may get this : The keycode you entered in not valid. Please try again.

If this is the case try the below mentioned fixes

Fix 1:

After installing the software, run Xcelsius once under the administrative user who installed the software. This user will be prompted to enter the keycode and has permissions to write the keycode to the registry. Non-administrators can read the registry key and run Xcelsius.

Fix 2:

1. Logon to the machine with administrator rights.
2. Run regedit and go to the key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE–> SOFTWARE –> Business Objects –> Suite 12.0
3. Right click on Suite 12.0 and choose Permissions.
4. Grant Full Control to the Users group for this key.

Non-administrators can now write to the key and enter the keycode themselves.

Plz let me know if this solved ur problem. Else post the exact error message u get

Regards
