DP6 offline activation file is for DP5!

Report a bug

I have installed Create DP6. The Offline Activation option for downloading a license activation file in the site is still for DP5, and DP6 doesn’t accept it.

Thank you for reporting this @thatkeith !

This should now be fixed. You can offline activate DP-6 in your account.

Thanks Adam! I’ve done this successfully – but here’s what happened:

  1. LiveCode Create DP6 launched into Classic, showing the expected UI and splash screen
  2. From the File menu I chose to switch to Create
  3. The UI disappeared, the menu bar showed the Create name for a couple of seconds, then it silently quit back to the Finder
  4. Now when I launch Create DP6 it quits back to the Finder after a couple of seconds.

Ah OK so it seems you can’t offline activate at the moment. My apologies. Is there anything being logged here?

(I don’t know why the word “Final” was set as bold when rendered here! It’s all just plain text.)
