Re-activate BoostC license after V6 re-install?

Hi All,

I have a Pro license for V6 and that is showing correctly when I click on view licenses. But when I try to compile BoostC shows "Single user Lite License (Unregistered) for 0 node(s), Limitations: PIC18 max code size:8192 bytes, max RAM banks:2, Non commercial use only" How do I get this activated again? I have already repeated the FC activation process several times.

Thanks

Hello,

That seems strange, have you tried to upgrade BoostC or anything similar to effect it?

What version of Windows are you running?

It might be worth trying to do a repair installation of Flowcode or for a no nonsense approach you can do an uninstall, delete the Flowcode directory and reinstall.

Hi Ben,

Windows 10, but I had to re-install it. I haven't done anything with BoostC. Have already tried uninstall, delete FC folder(copied elsewhere first to save my macros etc) and re-installed V6. Is there anything else I need to delete?

Hello,

That sounds pretty good to me. You could also delete the registry hive too if you want but this shouldn't be required.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MatrixMM\FlowCodeV6

Might be worth running Flowcode in admin mode before you activate so that it has all the permissions it needs to register BoostC.

Thanks Benj.

Run as Admin seemed to do the trick for re-licensing BoostC.

I also found that the latest version of Vipre Advanced Security blocks compilation so that it appears that the preprocessor just keeps running forever. If I untick "Block potentially malicious processes" in Vipre, compilation proceeds successfully.
