Adaptec easy cd creator 4.0 problem with win XP

hi everyone, sorry for bumping an old thread. i’m trying to install easy cd creator 4.0 on an windows 10 machine but I can’t get past the product key verification. when I enter the key the installer shows an error and won’t accept it.
has anyone encountered this before? is there an official patch, updated installer, or archive that fixes the verification check? i assume this title might be abandonware. if so, does anyone know a legal place to obtain a working installer or a valid license?
