Hello NeXT Community: We need a license key for Media Station 2.0 2.1, please help..
I have the software just need the license :) , I also have an early 1.0 version on optical disk I'm going to spin up but the later version supports the NeXT Dimension board as well which we need for the interactive exhibit :) .
If you have never heard of it . Well I had but did not realise how amazing the app really is .
http://www.kevra.org/TheBestOfNext/ThirdPartyProducts/ThirdPartySoftware/Multimedia/MediaStation/MediaStation.htmlI went in search of the original author and found they were bought by Disney!
Mediastation software was used to create some of the very first interactive multimedia cd's , the first was the Lion King of course the prototypes worked on NeXT boxes but chaos ensued Christmas 94 as the d combined with families purchasing there first computer a Compaq Presario with Windows 3.11 , were quickly greeted by the BLUE SCREEN of DEATH as the cd worked if you had the correct video card and enough ram , (and a real operating system lol) ...... tech support was flooded in fact I remember getting calls for this lol guessed right but did not know it was originally spawned from a rock solid NeXT app as that would have change everything . What the heck , we would have offered NeXT Intel Boxes running Openstep and contacted the developer to spin up some NeXT Compatible versions or run it under softpc 4.1 intel for NeXT which runs 3.11 . Here is the story ....

Hello NeXT Community: I've installed the Media Station from Optical drive but it gives me a floating point exception error it says it may be fatal report it to imagine inc. then bombs . I've never seen before , i'm going to try it with an 030 board next.
A license for the later version would help make this so easy this or earlier looks like it was a full version but does not work , I'm trying a direct launch from the optical disk next.
Best regards Rob Blessin
