How to Activate Photodex Proshow Gold 5.0.3280 Without Server Connection




Photodex Proshow Gold 5.0.3280 is a powerful software for creating slideshows with photos, videos, music and effects. It allows you to customize your shows with transitions, animations, captions, menus and more. However, if you have lost your registration key or if you encounter the "Activation Server is Unavailable" message when you try to activate the software, you may not be able to use it properly.




Photodex Proshow Gold 5.0.3280 Registration Key



In this article, we will show you how to activate Photodex Proshow Gold 5.0.3280 without server connection by replacing three .dnt files in the installation directory. This method will bypass the registration key requirement and let you use the software without any limitations. We will also show you how to publish your shows to your computer or external drive, as some online options may not work due to Photodex's server being obsolete.


Step 1: Download the three .dnt files




The first step is to download the three .dnt files that will replace the original ones in the installation directory of Photodex Proshow Gold 5.0.3280. These files are provided by Michael Transon on the Facebook Page Photodex ProShow & Photopia Users Support[^1^]. You can go to this link and download the zip file containing the three .dnt files:


https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Zn7Yl8wQ4cQyJx4y7a6f9XuZ7Xj9Ls3b/view?usp=sharing


Save the zip file to your computer and extract it to a folder of your choice.


Step 2: Rename and replace the original .dnt files




The next step is to rename and replace the original .dnt files in the installation directory of Photodex Proshow Gold 5.0.3280. The installation directory is usually located at:


C:\Program Files (x86)\Photodex\Proshow Producer


If you have installed the software in a different location, you can find it by right-clicking on the shortcut icon and selecting "Open file location".


Once you have located the installation directory, follow these steps:


  • Rename the all.dnt file to all2.dnt.



  • Rename the if.dnt file to if2.dnt.



  • Rename the pshow.dnt file to pshow2.dnt.



  • Copy the three .dnt files from the zip file that you downloaded in step 1 into this same directory.



You can keep the original files as backup in case you need them later.


Step 3: Run Photodex Proshow Gold 5.0.3280 and enjoy




The final step is to run Photodex Proshow Gold 5.0.3280 and enjoy creating your slideshows. You should not see any "Activation Server is Unavailable" message or any banners that display "Evaluation Copy" or "Use Illegally". You should also be able to access all the features and options of the software without any restrictions.
