>>3519990you can try going to ebay for a serial, sometimes clueless people post pics of the discs with the serial numbers in plain sight. however, it won't work with silvervast. it gets tied to the particular scanner unit serial number it gets installed and you have to deactivate it online before moving it to another computer. also, you need the CD/DVD to install it, even if you download the latest version from their website, the installer still asks for the disc to be present in the drive.
pic related is one I got from an ad of an epson scanner. it didn't work even though I tried installing it with the original silverfast disc from my plustek 8100. you can try it either way.
>>3519993>small dots in my scansseems like dirty stabilizer during development. do you have a scan or print of that negative frame? is it present there as well?
also, don't scan at 7200dpi. it does interpolation at that dpi. go for 3200 or 2400 dpi.
