activation messed up

Post by LtMandella »

Hi,
I was given a new domain account by our IT, and when I logged into my VM with new account and opened powershell studio 2016, it prompted me to install update to 2017 with dialogue window indicating that the 2017 version was activated.

So I accepted the update, and when I restarted powershell studio, it tells me my trial days left are 0. Hmm, very frustrating. I have been holding off on the update to 2017 version because I did not want to risk any hassles like this since I have a lot of production, business critical, pshell that I need to maintain.

I don't want this update if I have to pay for it today. Is there a way to revert to previous version which presumably I am licensed for?

I'm sorry to hear that. The update tool should have only downloaded a build you are eligible for.
To download the latest eligible build from our website, go to My Account->Registered Products:

https://www.sapien.com/account/products

Once you roll back to an eligible build, the software should unlock. If not, try to the reactivate the software using your subscription information.

To perform rollback, I just need to install the version downloaded from my "registered software" page?

Is that correct? Of do I first need to do an uninstall of the current pstudio version that does not work?

Yes, you will need to uninstall the current version in order to roll back to an eligible build.

OK, thank you, I seem to be back in business.

In case it helps, the build version shown in my registered products .136 but the automated update downloaded and installed build .143
