Hi
I recently upgraded my PC. I loaded RB from the hard disc I purchased with the program. No problem with the download, but I can't activate the program because it had already been activated to my old computer. Help menu is of no help. There is no-one available on weekends for customer support. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You failed to mention which version of RealBand you have. It makes a difference regarding the answer to your question.

For a few years RealBand had a separate activation code from Band-in-a-Box. But in 2023, and perhaps 2022, RealBand is activated at the same time Band-in-a-Box is activated.

2015 is the version I uploaded from the hard drive, although I may have had an interim upgrade (not sure).

You have three choices:

(1) Go to your PG Music online account. The 2015 RealBand serial number is available on your account.

(2) Copy the two "ticket" files from the RealBand folder on the old computer hard drive and paste them into the RealBand folder on your new computer.

(3) Contact PG Music support on Monday.

You get three activations (far as I know)
Disable an old one one & it should free up another ..


Make your sound your own!
.. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
