I have been using Real Pic Simulator for over nine years now. I have found it an invaluable development tool, simplistic in use - great for developing and testing switches and Timers.
My problem is since upgrading my PC I have lost my Licence Key. No problems or so I thought, get hold of the Company and ask them. No such luck they don't reply....
Okay I thought, I'll but a new licence key. The buy licence button takes you to what looks like a Brazilian Online Gambling website. I say Brazilian but it is not in Spanish more like Slovakian or Hungarian, irrespective it bears no relationship to Real PIC Simulator.
I can download and install a new program instance which gives me a free trial but I know what will happen, the trial period will expire and will have to spend hours flushing the registry of every hint of Real PIC to reinstall it for a further trial period.
Has anyone here had a similar experience with Real PIC Simulator if so, would you be kind enough to let me in on the secret of what you did to get around the problem.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
A very vexed and aggravated Geordie.

I normally keep Licence keys and registrations etc. in a Card file type index where I can recover in such cases as this, but for whatever reason it isn’t there!
An Email from over nine years ago. I don’t think I can go that far back. I’ll give it try all the same. As I said I don’t mind paying for another licence key but there is no way of buying one.

That is unfortunate. Sorry for you.
Did you replace the old computer? did you format the hard drive? Can you recover the license key from the old setup?
Check your emails. He will have sent you an email with the license. Hopefully, you still have it in your email folders.
I have contacted the developer many times over the past years. No response. This is never a good sign.
