Purchased but no longer usable: Please check your internet connection!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I bought the Auphonic desktop software years ago. I use it to improve the audio for our YouTube videos. Unfortunately, the software activation no longer seems to be working.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All I get is the message: “Please check your internet connection!”. There is also no new or old version available to download on the website. Although the product page<\/a> can still be found here, the actual download link returns a 404 error. Page not found.<\/p>\n
