This happens once in a while to me too. Many times doing a hard disk defrag helps, since ZB apparently cant find the license due to fragmented file structure. If that doesnt work, you'll have to reactivate via Pixologic support.

contact pixologic support and see if they can get you back up n running, sometimes thay can get you up n running without a new licence being issued to you.
i've had the licence die a few times...sometimes it's a 'hang' restarting the pc ususally helps... do not try a restore point you'll lose youe licence zb4 is moving to a lass flakey system i hear btw. __________________

just contact pixologic with your serial number and clerverbridge number you got when you purchased it and they will give you a new counter code and get you back up and running.

Over time your file structure gets fragmented and the OS cant find certain data anymore as they are widely spread out over the entire hard disk. The OS basically forgets where it put things and cant find them anymore, possible resulting in buggy programs, crashing etc. There's nothing you can do about it, it just happens to everyone. Defragmenting basically cleans up your hard drive/ rearranges the data fragments to where they belong. You'll lose nothing by defragging, other than a messy data structure and gain OS performance etc in the process. System restore will do nothing to remedy hard disk fragmentation.
