Cyberlink Software Can Only Be Installed In Authorized Machine

1. Cyberlink Software Can Only Be Installed In Authorized Machines

Hey I just wanted to say that this is great-worked like a charm. I'd made it to the file and line, but wasn't getting anywhere with my guesses. Should've known, good ol' asterisk! Also wanted to mention that I ran into this problem after reformat/reinstall using a Dell OEM copy of XP that wasn't what originally came with the machine and PowerDVD install disc, so it's not just checking to see that you used a Dell install disc, but the correct Dell install disc-probably has to do with different releases of the XP disc by Dell.

This was a big help. I had to take a little bit from each entry but I got it to work. Here is what I did. CLScan=. Vendor=Hewlett-Packard BiosVendor='Hewlett-Packard' This was for the Custom.ini file on the root of the CD.

Also had to modify the Custom.ini file in the PowerDVDDX. folders as well. These are for XP and Windows 7 installer. After doing that was able to get it installed but would not run. I went to Program Files/Cyberlink/PowerDVD DX/Customizations. In here there was Dell and Hewlett Packard Folder. I copied the contents of the Dell Folder into the Hewlett Packard Folder and was then able to run the program and play a DVD.

If you followed my guide, you should have the swsetup folder saved somewhere. Otherwise, there is a way to extract the files from the recovery discs, and then they should install, but it's very involved. You can see the guide 'Accessing HP Recovery Disc Files' in my sig.

I'm so glad I found this website. I bought a windows 2008 R2 server installation for under $20 bucks online.

Cyberlink Software Can Only Be Installed In Authorized Machines

New, sealed pkg. But it was for a lenovo and I have a different brand of pc.

I keep getting the error about 'can only be installed on a lenovo'. Can't wait to try your (and your reader's) suggestions. I figured I would copy over all the files from the install DVD, then edit the files and re-create the whole install DVD using an ISO utility (in my case, UltraISO). Burn to a blank DVD and boot from the new DVD. I recently needed to do the same thing, but I noticed that this tutorial was out of date.the following works for PowerDVD 9.5: 1. Copy the DVD contents into a folder on your machine or flash drive (I used My Documents) 2. Open CLScan.ini (from your newly created folder) and change DriveDetect from True to False (This way setup.exe won't go try and find the disc that's in the drive) 3.

Open Custom.ini (from your newly created folder) and find Dell, replace Dell with your manufacturer (In my case it was Lenovo) That's it! You should now be able to run setup.exe from that folder without any problems 🙂.Notice the case.the first letter is capitalized and the rest of the letters are lowercase, regardless of your manufacturer, this is the proper format.To find your manufacturer.go to Start Run and type msinfo32, then click ok. Under System Summary, you will see the System Manufacturer. The OS I used was Windows XP Professional.hope this helps someone 🙂 Thanks, Josh. : I can confirm that this CLScan=. trick still works on HP branded PowerDVD10. Important supplement, - this CLScan=.

trick only works with HP branded PowerDVD10 when parameter 'HPVerCheck' in Custom.ini is set to '10' NOT to “11”. Otherwise setup will fail with an error that it can be only installed on “activated systems”. Interestingly all Blu Ray related features will NOT install with “HPVerCheck=10” parameter. PowerDVD10 will only be able to play standard DVD and movie files. Last note, HP branded PowerDVD12 seems to have no longer any CLScan option; - in consequence this workaround will be no longer possible on newer PowerDVD versions.

Only works with HP branded PowerDVD10 when parameter 'HPVerCheck' in Custom.ini is set to '10' NOT to “11”. Last supplement, 'HPVerCheck' must be set to '9' on HP OEM PowerDVD10 (not to '10').

Otherwise PowerDVD10 will not play DVD's. Last HP OEM PowerDVD10 build which supports Blu-Ray with 'CLScan=.' trick seems to be version 10.0.5.3817 (sp56904.exe). Here 'HPVerCheck' must be set to '4' to install PowerDVD10 with Blu-Ray support.

Any newer build will fail during installation with this parameter, - it seems that on those builds also the 'Royalty.ini' file needs to be modified. @lion10 i unpacked sp56904.exe and only had to change to CLScan=.

HPVerCheck was already set =4. It installed no issues but was freezing when trying update keys for my disc.

There is a little blue up arrow at the top and clicking that will take you to the cyberlink site. The page offers an updated full installer that also can be unpacked and modified the same way: HP-CNB.HPRiTA10v4504DVD120706-03Normal.exe This one updated keys without issue. However, according to Cyberlink, version 10 is dead and won't receive any more patches/updates.
