Hi Rick, in reply to your post re: license expiry of After Effects, that really shouldn’t have happened if you have a genuine and registered copy. I don’t have any immediate long term solutions, but the same thing happened to a friend of mine. This is what he did: In order to carry on using it until you find a better solution, simply turn your system clock back to early November 2007 {via Control Panel}, you should find that After Effects will start up as normal. Good luck.
