OK, so here is what I think happened in the possible order it happened...
I installed the Vitascene 2 LE from app manager.
I opened it within PD15 and got an error message saying it would work in PD12, 13, 14, but was not registered in 15.
So I poked around and got nowhere.
Ticket into Support was not answered timely.
Ticket into Prodad was not answered timely.
So, at my wit's end I downloaded the 2LE trial from Prodad.
When it expired I uninstalled it, taking with it any reference in my app manager, and no saved downloads.
I managed to get a download copy from CL finally, and I was back to square 1, it worked in 12, 13, 14, but needed a key for PD15.
Of course nobody has got back to me yet at this point.
Out of patience, but with plenty of beer, I bought Vitascene 1 by accident for $99.
Then I installed version 1, put in the key, and for some reason I now had a functioning VitaScene 2.0.245.
But it only functions within PowerDirector 12-15, it is limited/restricted as a standalone. This is the exact opposite of when it all started. What a friggin' joke.
