При переустановки программы потребуется ли заново вводить ключ активации и серийный номер? (finereader 14 приобретал 19 мая 2017 года после месячного бесплатного тестирования путем покупки кода активации (не помню уже точно всю эту процедуру), за истечением срока код активации был утерян, как и код продукта.) Программа перестала работать после перехода с W8.1 на W10, при ее запуске код ошибки 258 .
