Activation blocked

[MilesH]

From today, I get this message on startup. I haven't been paying that much attention to the license changes but wasn't really expecting that I would have to do anything either.....

I can open the program if I copy and paste the Current License into the Enter New License Key box I have to do it each time though....

Windows update ? PC appears to be 'different'. so is interpreted as an additional computer

May need activation releasing at server (before it is turned off in summer https://www.alibre.com/flexera-deprecation/

)

Thanks David.
I did wonder if this had anything to do with this week's major Windows 10 update....
My license is pre Flexera AFAIK. I'm on PRODUCTVERSION 15,0,2,15088

 

[DavidJ]

Both Flexera and the legacy Alibre system get fooled by Windows updates for Win 10 - the major updates are basically a whole new operating system. Will send you a message.

Just to add that I think my maintenance covered the update to V16 but I never got around to installing it.
