Hi Will,
It appears that the process worked except for one thing. I got the correct message --?
Pinpoint 1-Time Demo Extender
This program will provide a one-time extension
of PinPoint. Additional extensions cannot be provided.
Or, Click below to restore PinPointLE in Maxim, etc.
[Click to Restore PinPoint LE]?
And I clicked on it and got this response -
DemoExtender?
[PinPoint LE restored successfully.]
'OK'
And I should be good to go, but when I open Maxim DL, it goes back to the?
original messages - License has expired, etc --- Pinpoint serial validation failed.?
No validation engine, code? =? 2147221005.
Eduardo
Thanks so much for your time and patience.

Hi Eduardo.
?
Unzip the file first then mouse-right-click on the extracted file and choose “Run administrator “ from the context menu.
?
If “Run as administrator” is missing from the context menu then before using mouse-right-click, hold down the keyboard left side shift key and keeping the shift key depressed then mouse-right-click on the extracted file and “Run as administrator” should
now appear in the context menu.
?
Keep the keyboard left side shift key depressed while you click on “Run as administrator” and release the shift key once the patch file starts to run.
?
Microsoft have added extra security steps in Windows 11 that make it harder to start downloaded executable (.exe) files so maybe this is the reason you don’t have the “Run as administrator” in the context menu.
?
It gets harder all the time to manage Windows and keep on top of all the security changes that seem to occur with every monthly Windows update, so don’t worry you’re not the only one that struggles with Windows these days.
?
Will.
