Does your Finale registration apply to only one version at a time? In other words, once you've updated your version of Finale and perhaps you decide you might like to also run the previous version, why does it say that version is no longer registered? You've bought and paid for those products and they are registered with the same registration number?!

I have always had multiple versions of Finale installed, and so have many other Finale users.

You should contact MakeMusic.

The serial number remains the same when you upgrade, but each version of Finale uses a specific authorization code.
