As you guys may remember, I use Living Cookbook software to store and organize my recipes. I have used the software to publish the last few versions of this board's recipe collection. I had a database of over 10,000 recipes.

Well, apparently the company went out of business and now the software won't work because the license can't be verified to open it.

Unless something develops, like a hack to allow the software to work, there will be no updates to the recipe collection from me.

I am pissed that recipes that I have collected for many years are now lost to me. How would you react?
it might be worth it to find someone on the tech board that could crack the program. I dont know coding enough to do it.

Thanks for the suggestions everybody. The file format for the working database is unknown to me. It can be exported in fdx or fdxz formats (among others), but if I can't open the program, I can't export to those formats. I have backup files that are proprietary to the program. They are lcb files.

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to access the recipes eventually, but it's going to be unwieldy.
