Zantar Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 In my email with the update link it says I should have the latest version of SB installed. If I attempt to update my license before 4.1 is released will it screw something up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Yes, I had the same concerns. I gather the email text was designed for situations other than the current pre-order phase. I've succesfully installed 1 primary and 7 secondary licenses with no ill effect (4.023 still runs, as does the 4.023 "server" version [used by VUs with the 8 user cap removed]).

delta6 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Gibsonm..I am not to good at computers could you break things down on how to install the license?? I tried and it wants someplace (file) to put it and I have no idea what to do next...Or would it be best to just wait for the new codemeter stick ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried and it wants someplace (file) to put it and I have no idea what to do next...Or would it be best to just wait for the new codemeter stick ?? I'm a little confused. This thread is for people with an existing USB stick and and existing 4.0 license. If you bought a time based license (I've never owned one) then given it doesn't require a stick I'm not sure where you install it it. However your comment: 3 hours ago, delta6 said: Or would it be best to just wait for the new codemeter stick ?? Suggests you are starting from scratch? If you have just bought a brand new copy then as I understand it (this option came out after I started using SB Pro) you'll receive two items: 1. A time based license to keep you going while you wait for the postman to deliver the stick and 2. A USB stick coming in the post. The time based license just uses whatever software you have and is limited by time (how long you bought it for) as opposed to version numbers. Theoretically (exaggerated for discussion) a 12 month license could cover ver 2, 3 and 4 if versions 2, 3 and 4 were released in the 12 month period. If you already own a stick (with say 4.023 on it) you wont get a "new stick". In that case you: a. Ensure the stick is in a USB port on the machine. b. You click on the link in the email you received. c. A web page should open. d. You "tick" the boxes on the web page and hit "install" (or words to that effect) e. Wait as things happen. f. You should receive a message saying the new license(s) have been installed. I'm not sure I'm helping but without a bit of detail I'm forced to be general in my answer.

Rotareneg Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Are you using Edge for your browser? If so, it won't work, you'll have to use Firefox or Chrome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted July 5, 2019 Members Share Posted July 5, 2019 You may be trying to use the offline activation. If you don't know what you're doing, stop doing that. We will sort it out, but for that I need to first get an overview of the situation, and as much as I appreciate the attempt of others in this case to help, further participation in the discussion will probably increase confusion (cease, and desist, please). Please contact me (or Sales, as listed in your license ticket) by email, and tell me your ticket number. The purchase order ID will also work, but is less comfortable for me to search. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To whom? Why? What matters is that you received the email with the license ticket that you just purchased. Click the link in it. This would transport you to the "WebDepot" page where you can then activate your license ticket. This activation process will generate the license ticket on your CodeMeter USB stick. For that to work, You must have the latest CodeMeter runtime software installed, which you can find here You must have your CodeMeter stick plugged in (which you would hopefully find in your drawer) You must not use the "old Edge" web browser (with the latest Windows 10 upgrades it's now Chrome based). Pretty much any web browser works with our license tickets, just not the old Edge browser, and Lynx (but with Lynx it's a design decision to support nothing but HTML 1.0 features) If you meet the prerequisites, the rest should be pretty easy: Simply click on that big orange button "Activate my License(s) now" If you don't see that button, or if you get an error message, please contact me by email. As a word of caution, our mail server seems to have a problem with external mails. I hope they're all in a queue, but of course the problem started with July 4th right before a long weekend, when else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
