You can try an install on another machine or VM for testing with the scanner. 
Usually the licencing thing isn't a problem. It goes thru automatically.
Later versions of Ariel might be difficult to export the patron list. Maybe try 
a restore on a spare machine.

Subject: [ARIE-L] Ariel support

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this enquiry so I apologise in 
advance if it isn't. Please do let me know who the correct contact is and I 
will e mail them.
Basically we have been using Ariel for about 7 years now and it has worked 
beautifully, until last month that is, when it started misbehaving. It scans 
the first two pages and then stops. It is definitely not the scanner (Epson) 
because the scanner works fine when using Epson Scan software but the stalling 
only happens when using Ariel.
I have tried three different scanners (GT-15000, GT-20000 and the DS-6500N) and 
they all produce the same result.

I called Infotrieve but they are absolutely hopeless! They said that there was 
just one support person for the entire world who was busy and would get back to 
me soon. That was a month ago. I've not heard a word. I chased them about 10 
days ago - again no luck.

Has anybody else experienced this issue please? If so how (if) did you fix it?

We only use Ariel to scan documents into TIFF format and then Send to Patron. 
We don't use any of the other methods of delivery. I am loathed to reinstall 
Ariel because (a) Infortrieve will need to activate the registration and given 
that they don't respond I'll be in a worse situation than when I started and 
(b) Ariel doesn't have a way for me to export the existing Patron List. Sure, I 
can restore from backup but will it restore the problem too?

Any help anyone can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.
