I thought i would share my solution on this, in case anyone should ever run into the same issue.
Apparently, the software that bundles with the
MusicPort isnt always up to date. They simply recommended getting onto the ProZone section of the website and downloading the latest version right from there. You then need to enter the 26-digit product code that came with the software, or you can use the 14 day trial code until one is sent to you.
Hope this helps. I got it all up and running and the MusicPort is the real deal. Very nice product.
