Help with valid keycode
I recently upgraded to MA3.2 but when I copy and pasted in my keycode, I received the message "please insert a previous version of Marine Aquarium CD to upgrade to 3.3" and it won't allow me to run the full version.
The error message almosts makes me believe that I should be running a MA3.3 version. My OS is Windows 8.1. Please advise and thank you. |
Help with valid keycode
I recently upgraded to MA3.2 but when I tried to copy and paste my keycode, I receive this error message:
"please insert a previous version of Marine Aquarium CD to upgrade to 3.3" and it won't allow me to run the full version. My OS in Windows 8.1. Please advise. |
MA 3.3 is a free upgrade, so it should recognize a previous Key Code. Where did you get your original Key Code?
|
Jim,
2 things...... >I received my keycode from an e-mail confirming my orde and download from Prolific Publishing's site >They did not offer MA3.3, only MA3.2 which is what I downloaded. Thank you, Tim |
I received my keycode (actually have 3) from an e-mail from SereneScreen.
The site does not have MA 3.3 only 3.2. Where can I get 3.3? The error message I am receiving feels like it is expecting that I have MA 3.3. Thank you. |
The text on the site has not yet been updated, but the download file is actually 3.3.
Make sure you are downloading the right file. This is the link: https://prolific.s3.amazonaws.com/Ma...eAquarium3.exe Let me know if pasting in your Key Code doesn't work with this. (Also make sure you're not accidenatlly grabbing spaces or extra characters when you copy and paste.) |
Jim,
I downloaded the link but am still getting the same error message referenced in my first post. I also hand typed in the keycode but still received the same error message. Please advise. |
I just thought of something.....my previous versions were all on another laptop which is now toast. Would the fact that I never had a full blown version on my present PC have anything to do with the error message I am receiving? It seems from the intent of the message that it expects I was running a previous full version of MA.
|
I don't think there is any version that is not "full blown". With a valid license you "just" enable the option to use more fish.... I think. You mentioned that you have 3 key codes.. are you sure you are using the latest one?
|
I am using the most current keycode. I have never ran into this before, very frustrating.
|
Ralph is right - every version is a full version. The Key Code simply unlocks all the fish.
Send me a Private Message with the Key Code you're attempting to use, and I'll check it out. |
PM sent.

For anyone else following this, it was an Upgrade Key Code in question. This means that there needs to be an installed version of the Aquarium on that computer in order for the Key to work. In theory, the program should be able to be installed on the new computer using the original Key, then the Upgrade Key would bring it up to date. In practicality, I've never actually tried this, so I'm having Prolific issue a new Key to Tadam.
|
Jim, could I suggest that whilst Prolific are issuing that key code, they spend a moment updating 3.2 on your web page to read 3.3 ?
It can't take more than a minute or two, and would save you all your repeated explaining. .... Just a thought... |
Different people for Key Code lookups and web maintenance.

I AM HAVING A HECK OF A TIME TOO. :mad:
I can't get the upgrade keycode to work. I have my original V 1.0 CD and I have loaded the 3.3 version provided on the link above by Jim. I have contacted Customer Service and have not been helped. What do I need to do to get the program loaded on my home PC (has CD drive) and work Laptop (No CD drive)? :rolleyes: Thanks for you help! :TU: |
I bought the upgrade to 3.3 a few days ago and had the 2.6 installed on my computer and I too still get the Please insert a previous version of Marine Aquarium CD to upgrade to 3.3". error message. :confused:
