Registering GIGASTUDIO

[Marcussen]

How long can I expect to wait for my registering of GIGASTUDIO to clear?

[A_Sapp]

Decades... cause I have the same problem. That\'s why I have to continuously click \'cancel\' each time gigastudio boots up.

Ridiculous...

I hope I can get GS 3.0 for the registered user price still.. otherwise they continue to be one of the worst supported software companies ever when they have a unique oppurtunity to go clean slate

Yes ,The GS registration system is mindboggling archaic. I actually had to completely re-install Wind. XP to get GS registered and working on my system. Huge PITA and waste of time. As far as Tascam GS support (tried calling, leaving messages, emails ,to no avail), there is none as far as i can tell apart from Dave G. on this site or someone u know in the hood whos gone through all the pitfalls and can offer help. I wish i had more faith in poorly run companys . But i willl never buy anything again from Tascam (apart from upgrading GS3) and if i didnt have Kontakt as my back up..well that would be a drag.

Hmmmmmm.... now I am concerned. I thought I successfully re-registered my GS160 after going to the XP version. In fact I made myself a note to that effect, along with Reg #, Reg key, and \"download code\". But I find that I also have to click \"cancel\" to get the GS160 to load instead of going into another registration routine. What gives???Anybody have a clue?

That was a waste of time, for sure, because there is nothing about GigaStudio\'s registration process which involves anything more than its registry entries. You should have been able to simply delete all the \"Nemesys\" keys in the registry, reinstall, and everything would be hunky-dory.

I suggest to those with problems--just call Tascam and get it straightened out. The Giga3 registration will be a lot better. But there\'s no need to suffer through a registration problem. It\'s a very simple thing.

ok... just sad I have to call the states here from europe... when it could and should be done with a simple email

Yea bruce, Logically, it should have been. I even did the complete uninstal (removing all the hidden .dll `s in the reg.) that is recommended on the tascam site. i tried everything believe me.. I`m so busy writing right now that i had to hire a friend whos and \"expert\" at instaling giga boxs to figure it out for me (complete XP reinstal) . HE even said that there was a trick to registering now.

I hope reg. GS3 is a simple thing, cause i know MANY composers who own legit copies of GS160 that still can`t get there copies reg. BTW ,i tired calling Tascam about getting my GS reg. Key 3 TIMES!! and I still havent recieved a call back!
Anyways, enough ranting. GS is just a big expensive streaming sampler,that was revolutionary for its time..At half the price, I still have alot more fun with Kontakt /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Honestly,Rich

[Marcussen]

Just called them.. spoke to a sweet girl named Emma and *tadaah* I have my registration key...

[carlmsmith]

Now that you have the registration key, how do you use it to avoid the \"Register your gigastudio now\" screen that appears when you start GS?? That\'s my problem.

Carl

[Marcussen]

Well... I havent tried yet (since im setting up some 2 GB templates) but I assume that once you get the screen, fill out the info and register that the screen disappears next time? Ill keep you posted

[Rich Pell]

Jeez ! your a hell of alot luckyer than i was... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif..whatever...Rich

Ok... ive now tried it out. After my registeration was accepted I no longer get the screen... if you still do, its becuase something somewhere has gone wrong in the process

[carlmsmith]

After my registeration was accepted I no longer get the screen... Marcussen

Was your \"registration accepted\" when the girl gave you the registration key??
Or did you click on the screen that says \"Register your gigastudio now\" when you start up GS. The next screen says, in effect, \"now we\'re gonna send in your information and email your registration key !\"

Oh, I know, just call them- its just that in this electronic age I resent having to rely on the telephone.

Anyway, thanks for the follow-up.
Carl

[Marcussen]

Right.... but you never got the email correct? If you did you would get yet another key... once thats registered, then Gigastudio is fully registered and you wont be bothered by the screen...

Call them instead.. thats what I did... the registration email wont arrive i\'m afraid /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

The in-built tool has never worked here either. However, the online form works fine, so for anyone having trouble, try this :-

- Open and print the register.txt/registration.txt file found :

GigaStudio - c:/Program Files/Nemesys/GStudio/registration
GigaSampler - c:/Program Files/Nemesys/GSampler/register

- Go to the Tascam Registration page (\"http://www.tascamgiga.com/registration.php\") and enter in all the info you now have, it must match exactly, so be careful with your capitals and spacing etc.

Submit, and your email should arrive in due course...

This PDF here (\"http://www.tascamgiga.com/pdf/giga_registration.pdf\") on the Tascam site descibes the same process, but note the link for the reg page is out of date (use the one above instead), which may also be tripping people up. I suspect the built in reg tool may also be hard-coded to point at a now obsolete location and hence the problems....maybe Dave can shed some light on this?
