Plug in the codemeter stick.  Open up the email that had the license link in it and open up the link in a browser.  Click the picture of the codemeter stick, then follow the prompts to install the permanent license.  That should do it!

The best option is to continue using the timed licenses.  

Yes, I've been working on this.  Thanks!

Well, its snowing somewhere!

A fix is available here:

It's more than just an expired certificate.  Errors like this happen when there is a web server misconfiguration.

The downloads are posted to the downloads section on esimgames.com.   Enjoy!

Not much to go off of here, but I'll throw out some questions

* Make sure that Pro PE is installed first, you are talking about the codemeter control center, so I am assuming this is done.

* What is the exact error message he is seeing, and what browser is being used?  Anything modern should work.  If it won't activate then try another browser.

I think most installer related questions have been figured out here, but I'll throw this in:  even if you select another drive to put your files on, you'll need a good deal of space on your c drive temporarily, because that is where the installer will decompress the files while its working with them.

It looks like you got it working, but for the next person that sees this:  It's executed the legacy maps installer and is waiting for the user to hit next on that window.  That window should have popped up into focus, but might have been in the background for some reason.  Try alt tabbing to find it.

Hi,

You can leave it installed, a new license will reactivate it, no need to uninstall.  Same thing applies with the stick - you'll be sent a license ticket for a one month license along with the permanent license to be put on the stick once it arrives.

The bundle installer will not download or attempt to reinstall the maps package if it is already found to be installed, since nothing has changed in it.

There are ways to juggle multiple versions and make it work.  I wouldn't recommend it for the average user, though.  Most folks should uninstall the old version and install the new one.  The bundle installer will handle running the uninstaller.

Yes - a new version of the bundle downloader was posted to sendowl, the digital distribution service that the webstore uses.  It's also available on the esimgames.com downloads area.  

Depending on how you do the firewall exception, the windows firewall will have to be checked and exceptions reapplied every time there is a new exe.

The new downloads are now posted to the downloads page!

Hello, any update on the UHD  situation? Also, the 2nd account approach is interesting.  I suspect, SB perhaps suffers from the same thing that Falcon BMS does although Pro PE doesn't have a graphics engine quite that old, but does seem to have UI elements that suffer from some of the same conditions.  I am currently attempting a re-install to get to 4.2 and will report experiences.  I do miss SB Pro PE and I haven't actually  played/touched it in getting on to a decade now.

Welcome back!   We have a campaign going on on Friday nights, you should check it out.

Hi,

What happens if you try a different browser or computer?  Do you have a AV software that is acting as a web proxy?

Thanks!

Hi,

Any details would be helpful, like when did it happen, what exactly were you doing at the time, etc.  Thanks!

Hi,

Correct - attachments to forum posts and messenger threads are separate.  Files posted for download in the downloads area don't show up in the interface we are discussing.

Thanks for all the help with this, it's made a big difference.  Quite a bit of disk storage saved.

Hi,

The new engagement stuff is in addition to the old stuff, all the old awards should be there and have never been removed.

Thanks!

The priority is huge files.  300MB AAR files from 2018 that no one is going to look at again.  Scenario files and maps that were posted as tests, or passed back and forth in private messenger threads.

Deleting individual screenshots are probably not worth the effort, but you can if you want to.  

Hi,

If you click your forum name right under the forum banner, and choose "my attachments", you'll be presented with a list of attachments you have made over the years.  If some of these attachments are no longer of any use, then please delete them.  

Thanks!

I disagree. The scenarios are getting lost.

If they weren't, then why do we experience the same thing over-and-over with new players asking for small scenarios?

 

People are inherently lazy and will not click through multiple links.

 

If its not on the front page then its getting lost.

What do you propose?  Some people are always going to ask for advise on good scenarios, rather than reading the descriptions.
