I have lost count of the number of emails I have sent to NCH Support about a licensing issue with several products, including VideoPad and WavePad. They just do NOT respond and it is infuriating. My laptop disk was erased and I had to reinstall applications and now, if I try to activate by entering the license key, it says I have installed the product too many times and must purchase it again - this is unfair! So I have emailed the NCH support for the various products and never receive any response!

Desired outcome: Allow me to activate the software using license keys I have previously purchased.

My sincere and humble apologies to NCH Software - they had in fact replied, and I don't understand why, but the replies had gone into my spam folder and I have only just found them. NCH have always been pretty good with responding, and that is why I was so frustrated.
Again my sincere apologies NCH and please forgive me!

Sorry you've had those issued Jeff. As per my update comment, they did respond to me and were quite helpful. I do have an ongoing issue in that they keep coming out with new versions and suddenly my license is invalid and it wants me to upgrade.
I am generally happy with them however and find that the software works well.

NCH Software is a disaster. I uninstalled it and it stripped out all of my photos and anything associated with it. I wrote the company and never heard back. I am still dealing with the issues and finding NCH references. It is a dangerous software - do not use it.

Further, I tried calling them - the company wanted me to buy additional software and download otherwise they said they would deal with their other customers and place me basically on hold. Never heard back.
