My computer crashed,lost everything...

Lost everything?! If so, it is such a shame and so unnecessary. Were you not backing-up your valuable files?

External hard drives are relatively cheap, USB memory even more so - certainly cheaper than losing your important work due to computer chashes.

Also, check out online back-up services for off-site secure storage. There are postings for this.

What email address did you send to?

You need to send to support@family-historian.co.uk

They are normally pretty quick with key requests.

You will need to install the V3 trial if you have V3 keys.

You can download the trial version of version 3 from the link on this page:
