What version of IS are you actually using? I have licence numbers for (v5, v6, v7, v8) but only use IS8 - which is still an excellent PIM.
Don’t you have/know your licence number?
I reinstalled and trialled ISv5 on Win7-64 a while back, to prove it (for another IS user on the Yahoo forum), and it ran OK. From memory, I had to take some care to install the correct versions of ukspell, and that was the only slight complication.
I don’t know about v3 though. It was before the time I started using IS. I don’t think I ever used/trialled that. My first IS was version 5, which was vintage 1998-2000
Do you know how to install v3 on Win7?
If you don’t, then you could copy the software on those diskettes, together with notes about the licence key - e.g., (say) to an online OneNote Notebook that I could set up for you, or elsewhere where I could download them. Then I could try installing it under Win8.1-64 as “compatible with Win7 or Visa” or something, for you. That would prove it one way or t’other. If it worked there, then it would probably be backwards-compatible on Win7, at least.

I just like to extend my thanks to those of you who mentioned NotecasePro - http://notecasepro.com
I’d never come across that PIM before!!
I just looked over the site, the functional descriptions and the change log, and I was seriously impressed.
I shall have to get the “Trial” version, I can see, if I am to compare it to OneNote and my peculiar requirements.
From the change log, it seems to be a mature product and well along its development lifecycle, so I don’t understand how come I’d never come across it before. It’s not in my database of the hundreds that I have investigated and trialled/tested.
What a pleasant surprise - something “new” (to me) and that looks rather good!

I agree that Notecase Pro looks very good. It helps that he knows how to build an appropriate website to explain and showcase the product.
=========================
My Info Select is Version 9 / 2007. Does the license allow two installations? How does one do it?
I mentioned version 3 to point out that I don’t need hyper-nuclear features for what I do. I need the IS tree system, search, and the word processor function it possesses, which is nothing spectacular. (Most of these programmes are a gussied-up metaphor for the Windows directory tree with a word processor embedded.)

Oh dear. NotecasePro was quite a disappointment when I finally got my hands on it. Lots of potential though.
Uninstalled now. Never mind. Onwards and upwards!

Ah, sorry, I don’t know about IS9/2007. I only trialled that, so I don’t about know its licensing procedures. Jim may have invented a new registration process for IS9.
