Just going to give you an update as to where i am with this (and show that i havent forgotton)...
I've been fighting to get the software to work on my Windows7 machine (i have it on an old XP machine, but that machine is old and very slow), eventually, i had to get the software working on win7 using an XP virtual machine! So i called up to license the software, mentioned in passing that it was a struggle on win7, and they told me there was a newer version that was win7 compatible... So i'd much rather use that than rely on a VM.
CD should be arriving today or tomorrow, once installed (my machine doesnt have a cd drive so i'll have to copy it to usb then install), i can call them up to get the license, and we're good to go. I've paid the £££'s for the license.
Full size plates, had a stock check and i need to order some of those. I'll get them with the GB pre-printed on the plate if i can as they seem to finish better.
