[DECtalk] Problems Retrieving GW Micro DECtalk Access 32 License from Windows XP Computer

Hi guys,

In 2002 I obtained a copy of DECtalk Access 32, version 4.6, from GW
Micro.  I lost two of the three authorization keys due to some
computer crashes, but I still have Access 32 up and running on an
older Windows XP laptop.
When I insert the floppy into the drive to remove the authorization
key (ideally to install it on another computer) I get an error saying
that the copy protection was unable to be transferred back to the
disc, or something to that effect.
GW Micro told me they can't help me in this situation because they
don't sell Access 32 any more.  As I have a legal copy of Access 32,
is there any way for me to try and get the copy protection off of the
XP laptop and onto another disc so I can try to install it somewhere
else?

Thanks,
Michael
