Please clarify what "Esellerate comes up" really means. There might be dialog box messages saying something like "Esellerate error", but that's just a text, it doesn't mean the program is really using Esellerate.
And, the Esellerate support is STILL there and used, we haven't removed it entirely, because if we had, it would automatically require a reactivation on the new system to everybody, even those that never changed hardware, "just" because we changed the system, this way an old PC that was never updated (typical for FS9 users), would continue to work with the local Esellerate activation he got when originally activated. This works, because our software *never* connects to the internet on its own, an online verification is required ONLY when changing hardware OR reinstalling Windows.
And in THIS case you'll need a NEW activation, and this one can only be done on QLM, because Esellerate is no more, their servers shuts down in October 2019.
