2. There is a file of MrtKey.txt in the folder of MRT software. Actually, it is the registration code. After you re-install or upgrade MRT software, you don't need to go to the user center to copy the registration code for another registeration.

As long as hardware of computer or OS is not changed, the former MrtKey.txt can still be used.

You just copy the file of MrtKey.txt to the folder of MRT software after installation of MRT program.

6. When activating MRT software, if “The MRT SATA Controller is not yet activated, whether to activate it now? ” repeatedly appears on the screen, it is probably because the HDD serial number can not be extracted correctly by MRT software.

To solve it, users can change the motherboard or store the software package in the USB disk. Besides these two ways, an easier and more effective way can solve this problem, that is, change "Mass storage" from "AHCI mode" to "IDE mode" in BIOS and then restart the computer. In this way, the problem can be solved.
