Troubleshooting ClipMate Error 412:

If you have an error 412, it means that you are using a registration key that has been generated with an invalid certificate - this usually means that the key was generated by a pirated key generator (keygen).  All such keys have been blacklisted. In order to protect our paying customers, we disable any registration key that has been found on "crack" sites, newsgroups, etc.. Using fraudulent credit cards, writing bad checks, etc., will also result in blacklisting.

Resolving the situation

If you want to get rid of this message and keep using ClipMate, there's no better way than to purchase a key from us.  Sure, we get annoyed when people use cracks and hacks - but if you purchase a key from us, all is forgiven!  You can get back on track by visiting our order page and buying a registration key from our secure server. It'll work better than the ones found on the crack sites - we promise! Before entering your new key, you'll need to remove the old key - instructions are here.

We apologize if you have received this message in error. And we're sorry that today's climate of shameless software piracy has made this necessary.  If we don't get paid, we can't continue to develop and support this great product. That's just the way it is. 

Sincerely,
Chris Thornton, President
Thornsoft Development
