I have an Access based stock control system that was installed about 4 years ago. Company appears to have gone out of business. My Hard drive has failed. I have got the back up onto another PC OK but cannot open the database get error message software licence missing. Access itself works fine. Can get sort period of access to the old system before it makes funny noises and dies! How can I find the licence and what form will it be in? someone has suggested looking in the regedit file but nothing obvious and do not know what I am looking for. Please help huge amount of time invested in the data and the software cost nearly £2k.

Using access from Office 2000 on windows ME. The Database was writen by a company that is no longer trading. It would appear that they have hidden a licence somewhere on the PC so that you can not just copy there work and sell. I click to open the database it goes so far then I get the error message that it can not find the licence.
Is there any way of know what files have been accessed so that I could try on the old hard drive and look to see what files where accessed one being the licence?
