Reinstall ZoomText, and select the Custom installation.

There are a couple of ways to resolve this issue.

The below solution is quoted and provided from ZoomText's KB: These methods apply to older versions of K1000/K3000. Troubleshoot Steps (older verisons of K1000/K3000): You can download the latest update here: Download and install the latest update for K1000. This method only applies to K1000 v13/v14.ģ. If you're using K3000, download the latest build of K3000 v13/K3000 v14, available here. This can be done through your Windows Control panel: Add / Remove Programs (Windows XP) or Programs and Features (Windows Vista and up).Ģ. Uninstall both K1000 or K3000 and ZoomText. Newer builds of K1000/K3000 v13 and v14 mark our NeoSpeech license as read-only, so ZoomText won't overwrite Kurzweil's license. Consequently, the voices stop working in both products once ZoomText is launched. If K1000/K3000 is installed first with NeoSpeech, ZoomText would detect that a version of NeoSpeech is already on the system and disable the install option for NeoSpeech and ZoomText still would generate and overwrite the license file in our NeoSpeech folder. If you install K1000/K3000 over ZoomText but choose a custom install so that NeoSpeech voices are excluded, the voices work fine in both products.

ZoomText would generate a license file in Kurzweil's NeoSpeech folder, overwriting Kurzweil's, which makes the voices 'demo.' Each time you launch ZoomText, it generates and overwrites the license file in Kurzweil's folder. If K1000/K3000 is then installed with NeoSpeech, the voices work fine until you launch ZoomText. If ZoomText is installed first with NeoSpeech, it works fine. This occurs because ZoomText has installed a different licensed versions of the NeoSpeech synthesizer. This version is strictly for demonstration purposes only.' If ZoomText and Kurzweil 1000 or Kurzweil 3000 are installed on the same computer, when attempting to read with the VW Paul, VW Kate or VW Julie voice it may say 'Your license has expired' or 'You do not have a valid license verification file. Error: VW voices say 'Your license has expired' with ZoomText installedĪpplies to Versions: Kurzweil 1000, Kurzweil 3000, ZoomText Error: VW voices say 'Your license has expired' with ZoomText installed 2.2.
