The bastards at EFI quit helping once they found out I was on W8 using v3 (which "they don't support").

I swapped out the Flex folders from my XP machine, and now the licenses are accepted. I can not, however, log in to the software with a login and IP address. I now get this error (see screenshot). I know it's not officially supported on Windows 8, but I bet someone on the forums here has an unofficial workaround. What would the solution be to fix this if it were on an XP box?

Call EFI for support.

You are going to need that license file which you probably have somewhere. You had to have it originally for the XP box.

I read that.

I've found workarounds tend to be more of a pain in the ass than just running a machine that fits the spec.

Well, the options are to build a new machine and roll it back to XP, continue to run it on ye olde antiquated machine that takes 5 minutes to process a single layout, or get anally raped and pay $1600 for the EFI "upgrade."

$1600 is cheap if it includes future upgrades and support.

It requires $1600/year to keep it up to date.
