I tried to download the last XP licencer earlier but when i click to down load there’s nothing there and my download does not start
Cheers for your time on Boxing day lol
Nope , it just flashes and then nothing
works fine here - are you using chrome - it’s a bit fussy about https downloads
try right click and open in new tab
I’ll try and enter the file in the version EL on there , cheers
Ohh yes im on the case
I must be as thick as two short planks , all steps go well until following the file path , there is no such file path on the XP , i can see loads of sld files in one fold but not it the file path shown
-
Close the eLicenser Control Center.
-
Download the zipped .sld file (approx. 13 MB).
-
Unzip the ‘SynsoPos407C.SLD’ file into this folder and replace the existing one:
- Windows: C:\ProgramData\eLicenser\eLD
yep - I think that bit is wrong
try
C:\Documents And Settings\All Users\Application Data\eLicenser\eLD
(it was all in that thread I linked 
)

keep searching - the .sld file will be somewhere. Don’t have an XP system handy to assist.

Well , im getting somewhere , don’t know where but somewhere , ive managed to download and install the last XP EL but now i can’t find the path for the file to rplase the Sld file , Ive checked all files trees and just can’t find it anywhere and this is what my licences look like on XP .
Im a little computer savy but not a wizard so with a little ,well a large kick up the arse im sure it will get there , these disk’s have been around for 27 years so a few more days won’t hurt
do a search for all .sld files on the c: (?) drive ?
Ahhh errmmmmm , nope lol . will try
it must exist as it knows about the older licences - once you find/replace then I think you should be up and running…(Famous last words!)

Im sure , i have faith , others have managed it so it’s only user error
Cheers for the help ,it is appreciated . makes you feel like you know nothing even thou using Stienberg software for 30 years … you never stop learning
And the plot thickens , even thou EL is installed , these are the only two Sld files on the C drive apparently and those are the ones ive placed there manually
interesting - I don’t have a xp machine to help out…but found this on a very old post
It says invisible - so set windows to show hidden/system files.
- On Windows 10, the eLicenser License Database files are located in the invisible “ProgramData\eLicenser\eLD” folder.
- On Windows XP, the eLicenser License Database files are located in the invisible “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\eLicenser\eLD” folder.
