Thaiphoon Burner DDR3 SPD Flashing Tool Problems

[C-N]

Hi Folks,

I'm having issues!!!

I recently purchased Thaiphoon Burner 7.5 to work with my Z77 board only to have it deactivate itself 2 days later after I activated my fresh install of W7 Ult x64. Thaiphoon were quick enough to give me a second activation however before I could install it my registration code changed again meaning it wouldnt & dont work.

I have emailed Thaiphoon twice but they now ignore me!!!!

Has anyone else had this problem with Thaiphoon Burner?

I can still play with SPD's using SPD tool & or an older version of Thaiphoone Burner on X58/P67 boards but as I paid for Thaiphoon 7.5 & it dont work I feel hard done.

That feels bad, when ignored..

Each time clone your drive when your using your tool, that way it will allways stay activated?

I did get a reply in the end they said they were on vacation hence the late reply.....

The way I see it the reply basically said Thaiphoon was activated for your current hardware only meaning any change even RAM may deactivate it!!! I think this is lame as it renders the tool useless for what I want to do with it. This IMO is a fantastic tool yet it’s made unusable to moders/tweakers & people like me that generally bugger about with stuff due to its activation method.

They also said in their opinion the cause of the deactivation was a BIOS problem. I can’t prove this one way or another however as everything else I have that needs activating manages to stay active despite my constant hardware changes & BIOS updates I don’t wear this Teflon shouldered reply....

DRM sure does suck doesn't it?

I don’t want to defend or object to what the likes of Thaiphoon feel they need to do to protect their development but....... this tool is fantastic & exactly what I want & I would think most people like me want to use for tooling about just a shame I can’t keep it active!

I find it sad this tool & its activation prevents me from using it in an open way & can’t help think Thaiphoon must be missing out selling this tool to people like us due to this very limited activation.

Back to old SPD Tool/Thaiphoon on P67........ How can this benefit Thaiphoon!!!!

Im not having any issues with Thaiphoon burner on Z77. Ive switched boards... ram... cpu... only had to activate once.

Strange that’s what I have been using W7 Ult x64 SP1 & UD5H.

My registration code has changes several times, once I put it down to activating windows but the other times I had not made any hardware or BIOS changes at all so have no idea what’s going on.

My registration code has been the same for over a month now so maybe whatever was causing my problem has stabilised
