We recommend Windows 11 and Windows 10 to run our software. Most of it also works on Windows 8 and Windows 7. Needs at least 3 GB RAM. It will not work on Mac.
You need internet to download the installation package from Downloads page. Once you have it on your computer, copy it to USB flash drive or any other media and run on a destination machine. Internet connection is not required for software to work.

Software License

The software license is per user, not per computer, so you may install in on all your machines without extra fee if you are a sole user.
However if you have it installed on two laptops, one of which is for you, and another for your co-worker, then you need two licenses.
All purchases include one year of free updates and support. You may use the original version or any version released within the year after purchase, but to use the version released later you need to purchase a renewal package that will give you updates for another year.

Installing and Running

Please download and install the following program: https://www.powerkaraoke.com/download/vcredist_x86.exe. It is a Microsoft library that is used by our programs and usually fixes the problem.
Make sure that software is closed when you are running installation. Also restarting your computer might be a good idea if problem persists.
First restart your computer and try again. If this does not help, try re-installing the program (your settings will not be removed). If still no success, consult the product-related sections below and download the script that will revert the settings to default values.

Unlocking

The best way to enter the unlock code is to select the entire email with the unlock key (press Ctrl+A), and then copy it to the clipboard (press Ctrl+C). All fields in Unlock dialog should be populated.
If this does not work please copy and paste the unlock code. To do this copy it in the registration email (select it with mouse and press Ctrl+C) and then paste into the dialog box (activate unlock code edit box and press Ctrl+V). You may also do the same for email address, as unlock code depends on it.
If this still does not work please send us a screenshot of About and Unlock dialog boxes. Click here for instructions on how to create a screenshot.
Please re-enter the unlock code. If you do not have it, contact us and we will resend it to you.
Why has this happened? Windows updates have tendencies to delete registration data for our software.

While we did our best to convert graphics in CD+G songs to text, sometimes it is not possible. It may be because of the font which is difficult for a computer software to recognize or by a non-standard way of displaying text. In such cases we suggest to import lyrics from a text file and perform manual synchronization.
Please email us your PK2 file so we can see what is wrong.
