How to Change or Add Nero 8 Serial Number

If Nero complains that you have a pirated serial number (which is probably correct), do the following:

Delete the file called NeroPatentActivation.exe from "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nero\Shared\NL3".

Open Nero Control Center by clicking:
Start->All Programs->Nero 8->Nero Toolkit->Nero ControlCenter


Click on Updates tab on the left panel. Uncheck the box that says: "Check for updates every: XXX days"


Click on License tab on the left panel. Then click on Add and add your serial numbers.



Your Nero 8 should now work and be activated permanently.

If this works for you, or if I missed a step, please let me know thanks!

Enjoy!
