I think @brian was attempting to fix this issue. Let me give you a link to a newer version - I assume you were getting a 7.1 build, I’m going to link a newer one with code that I believe contains the attempted fix:
I swear I saw this morning in the commit logs messaging about changes to have one version not delete the license files of the other, but now that I look at them again I can’t find any of them.
As a test does it all work better if you uninstall both 6 and 7 and reinstall only 7?
Other than that I am afraid we’ll have to wait for @brian to work his magic.
Hmm, I really don’t want to uninstall 6. I wonder if I uninstall 7 and try to reinstall a previous version - such as 7.1.20314.23101 or even the current release version 7.0.20314.03001 if that might work?
Well, I was just thinking as a test. Obviously install 6 again after testing, but I’m sure @brian will be able to say much better things about this than I once he’s awake.
OK, I uninstalled the current version and reinstalled the 7.0 release version. License dialog came up and it logged into my account and got the license. Now it runs. I will lay off the updates until I hear from @brian on this.
This is correct. All the license files live in the Rhinoceros\6.0\License Manager folder.
It’s a fix that almost went into 6.32 last night, but I decided to pull it at the last minute when I thought of a more robust fix for this and future similar problems. But this isn’t the problem Mitch is seeing.
The prosecution rests. All evidence has been deleted. There’s nothing I can do to help you understand what went wrong and fix it, unfortunately.
All the licenses are in the 6.0 folder because it lets plug-ins that work in both be licensed one time. This is true for things like Bongo, Flamingo, etc. Originally, we thought we’d move the licenses to a new folder, but it turned out to cause more problems than it fixed.
Well I will install the updates again and see if the problem happens again. If so, I will make a copy of the license folder. If not, and it was a one-time fluke, then there’s probably not much to be learned anyway. If it is a recurring problem not related to my system, I’m sure someone else here will report the same thing.
