License Key not working....
« on: 2011 April 08 08:32:41 »
Howdy,

I had to upgrade my OS from XP 64 to Win 7.  I copied my license key to my user folder, but PixInsight does not recognize it and keeps asking me for a name and activation code : (

What should I do?

Thanks,

JOhn

either the file got corrupted or you're not putting it in the right place. Or perhaps it got renamed. Only 3 options :)

My license file (W7-64) sits in c:\users\sander and is called .pixinsight-license

Hi Sander,

Yes, thanks.  That is where I put my license as well, but PI still asks me for activation code, etc.   :(

Guess I need a new code...

Thanks for the help Sander -- I just fixed it!

I uninstalled, dowloaded the latest version via distribution center, re-installed, and it found the license.  Yea!

Hi John,

Nice to see something that fixes by itself! :)

Anyway please don't hesitate to email us at the support address (or using the contact form on the website) should you have further problems. This is extensive to all commercial and trial users, naturally.
