There are many reasons why the serial number won't work with Better File Rename anymore. In most of these situations, the problem is with the key expiration or multiple activation.

Better File Rename supports Remove text from Beginning feature which means you can configure it to delete characters from the beginning of the files.
This option can be selected using the drop down menu from the main interface.
I cannot figure out, or find online an example of GREP (Regex?) that will take a "crushed" filename and expand it like this: ThisIsTheCurrentFilename.mp3 and insert a space in front of each capital letter (the ability to IGNORE the first capital would be nice!)

I have tried all the possibilities to do exactly as you said for a custom file name, but the software doesn't offer any solution for this request. I mean it doesn't have an option to detect capitalized letters to add a space in front. None of the defined presets offer such renaming feature. You will have to work with the application in another way to add a character in front of each letter, then you can use Better File Rename to replace that character with a space.
