License stuck in demo mode

[DJAB]

Anyone else experiencing this? 

 

I will submit a ticket with NL but thats going to take a week before I get a response judging by other tickets I have with them, so I'm curious to see if anyone else is struggling? (Mac OS X)

Hi Andy,

We don't usually handle license issues here, but have you tried:

• Re-install Maxwell V4
• Download your licence from Customer Gateway
• Copy the "lic" file to: C:\ProgramData\Next Limit\Maxwell\licenses (/user/Maxwell/ on macOS)
• Run formZ and register

Thanks, its a hostname conflict with the floating license, I believe.

I had a similar issue and this is how I fixed it:

• Uninstall Maxwell Multilight 
• You'll find multiple "lic" files here:  C:\ProgramData\Next Limit\Maxwell\licenses
• Remove all the lic files except the one that belongs to the formZ app: maxwell_formz.lic 
• That stopped my formZ from trying to authenticate each time I started the program

I don't know how to install Multilight without having the issue pop up again but for now this works. The lesser of two evils I guess.

Maxwell sent me a workaround that has worked, instead of using the license server I had to manually drop my lic files into various folders. Fingers crossed I dont need to do this every time I re-boot! 

 

I didn't actually have the plugin installed, it was my studio licence that would not register. Now that its working, Im very impressed

Hi,

 

I'm glad you have it working now. I know the developers at Next Limit are working hard to get a few issues with the new licensing system ironed out... I'm sure the process will smoother soon!
