I have Xara XtremePro 3.0. I've used it on several consequent computers (win 98, XP, etc ... never used Vista!). Anyway, I installed it on a brand new one using Windows 7.
I found that it repeatedly asked me to enter the serial number every time I started the program. It is a genuine Xara product with CDs, manuals, serial printed on the box, etc. I found the solution at Xara Support knowledge base page where the following question people would ask is:
Will Xara products work with Windows Vista and Windows 7?
And this could have been the problem!
Read on ... for symptom of my problem and its cure:
On the first run of the program, right click on the desktop shortcut and select 'run as administrator' This is required even if you are logged into an account with administrative access. This will allow you to run the program and enter your serial number and will prevent the program from requesting your serial number on subsequent runs.
