Avec Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hi. I just bought a 1 month license for SB Pro but are experiencing problems. The CM version was 5.22. I am running Win 10 and found info about CM 5.22 not working well on win 10. I have now upgraded to 6.20. The problem seems to be me not being able to get the license from the URL provided. I did activate it (says it is activated now) the download to a local file have probably not worked. I cannot reactivate/download file once more. CM produces a *.WibuCmRaC file and seem to expect a *.WibuCmRaU. That part has not worked for me. I created a new request file and it says more or less the same (except for [data]) as the file as thought i had updated with new license. Please advice. -Avec 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted July 17, 2016 Members Share Posted July 17, 2016 There is no way to directly activate licenses again. You'll have to contact me by email. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thadwb Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Salutations, I have been attempting to load version 4.0 for the past hour or so. I've tried everything I can think of. I have downloaded and loaded version 4.0 and afterwards purchased the update license for for 40$. I've also downloaded the 6.30a Codemeter software for Win 10. "Error: An internal error has occurred. Code= 0x1808001" I tried the Offline Activation method many times. Still no go. Keep getting the 0x1808001 error code. One thing that is NOT happening with the Offline Activation option is getting a prompt to save a new file - xxxxxxxWibuCmRau after uploaded my RaC. It simply doesn't happen. Why? I don't know. Without it, I cannot save it and then import it for use. I've also Updated the firmware. Help... I'm at a loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please contact me by email, so I can identify why you, specifically, get that error. There is no "one size fits all" answer here. One of us, have the same unsolved trouble. Help us please! I wrote a couple of letters to you. Thank you in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will answer your emails like all other emails that I get, roughly in the order by which they are coming in. I noticed that at least one email was delayed by your spam filter (but I found it, and re-sent it to my regular mail account). Please understand however that I took this Saturday off. Now it's Sunday morning (00:10), and I'm back at your service... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudweasel Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 1 hour ago, Ssnake said: It will work. If the two Steel Beasts installations do not use a shared folder (and with two parallel WIndows versions this shouldn't be the case) then there will be no problem. The CodeMeter license management is also independent of the operating system/Windows version. Thank you! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisWerb Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Having installed both the game and both the patch and codemeter, and then having activated the one month licence (the dongle won't arrive for a while yet), I see an Esimgames folder in C:Drive, but don't see any executables in it and the installation process did not put an icon on my desktop. How do I actually start SB? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted September 29, 2016 Members Share Posted September 29, 2016 Win 7? 8? 10? I mean, it should definitely show up in the Windows Start menu, unless you're on Win 8 and a total Metro fan. Even then there's the "All Apps" list... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's not like you're the first who gets stumped. So I'm wondering if there's something that doesn't work right, or works contrary to today's people's expectations. I mean, I always hate it when programs put icons on my desktop. It's MY desk. You don't dump stuff on it. So, we're not doing this. But since everybody else does it, maybe that's what people want? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt DeFault Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Noooooooooo! J/K. I feel the same way as you about my desktop. But I don't mind if there's a checkbox during installation that only creates a desktop icon when checked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTeflon Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Ssnake, a bit of help here, I bought a 4 month license and its about to expire. So I bought another for months and added to my container. It still shows as 10 days left and the second license doesn't show as activated, only available. Will it automatically renew once the previous license time runs out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted October 16, 2016 Members Share Posted October 16, 2016 Yes. Prior to version 4.0 we had it that the existing license would be updated/extended. For reasons unknown this license update process does no longer work properly with CodeMeter runtime version 6 (Wibu Systems changed things here; their motivation to do so is unknown). So we can now only create a new license which won't be used until the old one runs out. Which also means that over time a number of expired licenses will show up in your CmAct license container, unfortunately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted October 17, 2016 Members Share Posted October 17, 2016 From a strictly functional perspective you're right. But of course this change inevitably creates irritation and an increase in support cases, as is evident. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovenmit Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Hi. Very recently got a copy of a yearly licence (ie no USB stick), and have decided I want to reinstall my PC.. will I have issues reinstalling/licencing SB after? I may get a new GPU in the process... so would that affect anything? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
