I like cars Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 My computer has no CD drive - can I still install the full version of railmaster (I have only been able to find links to a free trial from the Hornby website). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashbang Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Not so unusual today, especially with many laptops! You can of course buy a CD/DVD drive that plugs into a USB port for around £10. Search for example on eBay for USB2/3 CD/DVD Extrenal drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I have an external drive. Works very well and not expensive. I thought Railmaster could be downloaded from the link at the top of this section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I like cars Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 Thank you. I have found one and I am now activating trying to activate the software. However, despite running it as an administrator and having double (and triple) checked the key, it still won't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OssieB Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 As WTD says, the latest version of RM can be downloaded from the front page of this section of the forum, so there is no need to use the CD. It is near the top and is priinted in bold red type. All you need from the CD package is the activation code - you can dispence with the CD as it has a very early version of RM on it, and would need to be updated straightaway.BarryO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Is your RM original defintely new and unused as the licence is not transfereable thus if someone has tried to register it before it will not register again to another email address. If it was on another PC then it has to be deregistered from the device before it can be reregistered on a new device, but only to the same owner. As stated you should download the very latest version from the link at page top, which will be a demo version until you release all the features with your key code. Make sure when inputting the key you do not have caps lock on or off when it should be other way round. From memory RM puts the dashes in for you between blocks of characters. Check if 0s are zeros or ohs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrissaf Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 What anti-virus application are you running on your PC?.Is it McAfee or Norton.....if it is, these are known problem AV applications with RailMaster..The installation of RM onto your HDD puts a 'RailMaster Security.pdf' document on your HDD with a 'shortcut' on your Desktop. You need to follow the guidance in that document, particularly if you have one of the two AV applications I have mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishmanoz Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Chris, I'm going to intuit Ilc had his AV blocking the registration process, he read the guide and fixed it, now he's playing trains and not reading the forum until his next problem.
