      My husband and I have tried to get this worked out. Provo Craft via email says they have reset my activation so it can work for me to activate it, but it never works. Keep getting Error Code 3. My husband has called them a couple of times and gets the run around about it, saying the activation things are offline or something, not working right then. Thing is, it NEVER works. Never! So in essence I just want a new serial number to enter in the first place, activation code, whatever. They haven’t helped yet. Trying to get husband to call them again today. We’ll see if they give him the run around again or not.

      Yes, you’ll have to contact them. Hubby called and they resolved it on their end and I was able to register DS.

   My old computer died. My Cricut was registered on it. When I got my new computer, I cold not access the Cricut computer program because I was registered on the “different” computer. How can I register my program onto my new computer?
   Thanks for your help.

   Pat B. you’ll have to call them. I tried and tried to get help via the computer, on their own website (provo crafts) where they have trouble tickets you can submit for products. Promised again and again in responses that they cleared it up for me and I could now “activate” again, it didn’t work.

   Hubby called them, one time they “said” they couldn’t do anything or something, other time or too also, but eventually he got through and did talk to someone for awhile and this: hyperthinking.us/weblog/2010/08/31/design-studio-activated/ is the post I made after that.

   You just have to demand help. Also, have you tried Cricut Craft Room? It’s free, if you can connect your computer to your cricut … I haven’t used either Design Studio or Cricut Craft Room in the last year, even when I had them available to me, I just haven’t cut a thing with them. I have a Gypsy and still mostly use that, and now have a Tim Holtz Vagabond and am getting in to his Alterations Dies more than my Cricut. FWIW
