Same computer, but all licences show as "allocated to another machine" 16/05/2018 at 09:35 #107975

Hello all,

Today when I started up SimSig to play I noticed that all of a sudden in the licence manager every single one of my licenses seems to be allocated to another machine.

This is not the case, I only have one machine where I ever installed SimSig on. I tried updating everything, now I have licence manager v4.6.9, loader v4.7 and the check for updates window shows v4.6.9.0

Should I just use the "Request an unlock for ALL licences" button or is there something else wrong?

Maybe useful information:
Loader v4.7
Update window shows v4.6.9.0
Licence manager v4.6.9

I'm running SimSig in wine-3.0 on macOS. It is possible the above situation started with the last update for wine, I'm not sure about that...

The easiest solution is provably to request they're unlocked by an admin and then reassign them.

They are usually unlocked very quickly.

Wine updates can cause this issue.

Just request an unlock and we'll get it sorted for you.

All unlocked.

I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.
