Troubleshooting
If Expert Lotto rejects your license key, it is probably for one the following reasons:
- The trial license key is expired. Trial license key is valid for limited time only - usually for 30 days. After that period the license key is invalid and cannot be used to unlock disabled Expert Lotto features. You need to register Expert Lotto or purchase a new trial license.
- If you have already registered your copy of Expert Lotto, purchased application updates renewal and now you need to install the application to a new computer, you must enter registration license key first before activating your renewed license. Only registered version of Expert Lotto accepts application updates renewals. If you don't have the email with your registration license, contact us and we'll send you a new one for free.

- Registration license key can activate only those versions of Expert Lotto that were released within one year since the license key issue date. If you need to reinstall Expert Lotto from scratch, for example to a new computer or because of hard disk crash, and your registration license is older than one year, you must contact us first. We will send you a special link to download an older version of Expert Lotto which you can activate with your old registration license. If you want to use the latest version of Expert Lotto, you must renew your application updates.
- You didn't select and copy the whole license text. Make sure the license text in License Key Activation window includes the starting LICENSE_BEGIN and ends with LICENSE_END.
- You have entered a compromised license key. It is illegal to make your license key publicly available on internet or share it in any other way with anyone. Shared license keys will be black-listed and Expert Lotto will stop accepting them.
