every time i go to their online chat on line they are offline.
I have downloaded the software via the link they sent me when i purchased it.
when I try to put in the license number it says that it is not compatible with what is installed. which i dont understand.
ive uninstalled and reinstalled but the result is the same.
i have been able to use the add in in word 5 times then it says i can upgrade the software. which i dont get because ive already purchased it. i realise then oh this is a trial version so i get rid of it i e delete it but im back to square one.
does anyone have a telephone number in the states or anywhere in the world. ther website does nt provide a telephone number.
the pro life time version im guessing means that i will have life time license is this true thanks

babylon 10-Bablyon doesn' reply
Nov 12, 2017
It seems to me I had that same problem a few years ago and I finally had to manually insert the password (an interminable chain of numbers and letters).

I get another error message saying that that network resource isn't available. I get no reply from Babylon telling me how to uninstall the last versión. ▲ Collapse
