Registration for TMG V8.4

Recommended Posts

I have been running TMG v8.4.0 since it first came out and just recently I have been having problems with the registration. After a week or so when I log into the program it telling me my trial version had expired

and to enter the unlock code, which I have, however when I do this I get a window telling me that I have to Log in as administrator in windows, I am the administrator. I have to projects going and the registration gives me the same result when I enter the unlock code. However when I go to the sample project it takes the unlock code and I'm good to go for until it happens again. Is there a way to correct this problem?

If you are running Windows 8 or later...

 

Run TMG as Administrator. (Right-click on the TMG shortcut and select 'Run as administrator'.)

Then enter your registration information and, after clicking [OK], exit TMG.

Now run TMG normally as a standard user.

(The registration information is now stored where Windows 8 won't remove it.)

%%%%%%%%%%

btw... You want to update to v8.08 if you are going to continue to use TMG8.

Thanks Jim

 

My next question is why would I want to upgrade to v 8.08 if 8.04 is working fine for me?

 

If I must up grade to 8.08 where do I go to do that and will the registration number change?

The following is an extract of the Version 8.08 Change Log. In only contains the descriptions of the changes after Version 8.04 up to Version 8.08. As you will see it contains a number of bug fixes which are likely to be of value.

 

Note that Version 8.05 has a change to the way that Role variables are stored internally within the database files. If you use Role variables in tag sentence templates, especially in multiple languages, then I suggest you first read the summary of those changes here. This fix/change resolved some unexpected behavior of Role variables which was first introduced in Version 8 and which you may have come to expect in Version 8.04.

 

To upgrade you simply need a Version 8.08 installer file, but not sure where you can find one now. Maybe some other user can point you to where it can be obtained. Your existing Version 8 registration will be accepted.

 

Hope this helps you decide. I would echo Jim's suggestion to upgrade.

This will not change any role assignments for existing tags.
  • New projects (and projects created by an import) - The initial first two roles in the role order for all standard tag types will be Principal and Witness respectively.
