From my understanding, versions below 6.0 are NOT compatible with Windows 7.

If this is Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate.  Use the XP Mode and create a virtual machine.

 

I would recommend VMWare Workstation, it is a very stable and powerful.  

 

Good luck,

Mike

I had the same problem before. I tried XP mode but seems not working. I finally upgraded the Lookout to 6.6 and it works.

Then you have to get a new license for Lookout 6.6?

 

I have the same problem; I use Lookout 6.0.2 but I would like to start the migration to Windows 7. I have received the installation Discs of Lookout 6.6, but I don't know if the same serial number I have for the development 6.0 will work for getting a license for 6.6.

 

Does any one knows any workaround for this issue?

Serial for 6.0 will not work for 6.6

 

Upgrade would be required.
