Hi Basj, I was initially skeptical of the above advice (which seemed like the old "Have you switched it off and on again ?" trope), but having tried it, I am happy to report that it actually worked (even though the version no of DesktopGPT is unchanged - 1.0.0.0). Thank you for your help!
Hi - I have seen the post about service restoration, but I still get the following error: Desktop GPT - Error Login failed, application is shutting down. Thanks
Understood and expected, Sean. However, the only differences are * size of HD partition (ca. 1 GB or so - 97.7 vs 98.6 GB if memory serves) * programs installed - one is for Office or is for VMs mainly. Processor, Ram, Graphics etc - all the same as it is two installs in two partitions To be clear - both installs are onto the same bare metal - one install is just for hosting VMs. Also, booting Linux between the two Windows boots alle
Further to my note: My Laptop has 2 Ubuntu installs and 2 Win 10 installs. While the computer name is the same for both, the partition sizes are 98 vs 99 GB or some such (i/e/ slightly different). As it has EFI, both Windows installs boot from the same EFI. Now, if I boot Win 10 Office and then boot Ubuntu and then boot Win 10 Virtual, I am OK - but if I boot from 1 Windows into the other (whether reboot but proper off/on restart), I get prompted for activation.<br
Hi, I have exactly the same problem - every time I start off the Laptop, and click on Start. I get prompted to register it again. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, I have put the registration code and I have used the "sign into your account" method - I get told "Thank you for activating" and then, next time the laptop is started up, the same thing happens. It has no gotten worse as ShadowFX has decided to get in on the act and also demand reactivation....
Answering my own question (for anyone else having the same;-) - the new year appears to be tagged onto the end of the original subscription - i.e. not losing out by extending early ... HTH
Does the subscription start when the old one runs out or is this a new one and you would lose whatever time you have left on the current subscription ?
