I am currntly attempting a multiplayer game of the new wembly and watford sims (which are great by the way), and This time I am getting repeated simulation has expired errors which close the sim (as if the demo had finished even though I have paid and am on multiplayer which in't even possible with the demo). This error has effected both sims and occurs repeatedly at varying amounts of time after sim launch.

I have had a succesfull multiplayer on wembley mainline (with loader fully updated at the time)before this without the error and have not updated the sim or loader since.

current loader version 4.1.2

sim version 1.0

I have loaded the license manager after the error appeared and screenshot to prove the license still existed at the time the error occured.

sorry this screenshot is so blurry, I must have done something weird to downsize it while editing to cut out my second monitor.

was loaded for about 20 minutes before it first happened, 15 of them paused and then seemed to get more and more frequent untill the time i took that scrrenshot when it was all of one minute before it crashed, I've restarted my pc now and have been 20 minutes without so it may just be a weired fluke of some kind (altough I've not connected to watford junction to run it so if being connected to both was the cause the restart may not have fixed it).

Tim, has this happened with any other sims? does this happen if you open and run a nonsever version of each sim? (or a server version but with no clients connected?)

This was the first time i've experienced it this evening and I've used SimSig quite heavily these past few weeks with this particular being a multiplayer client being the only time this has happened, and I've even as I've said been a multiplayer client on this sim before with no issue and no updtes have come out since, but seeing as restaring my computer has fixed it I'm willing to chalk it up to some weird bad luck of background stuff adding up funny and just leave this here so the devs know it happened in case it does again to someone else.

If this occurs, the solution is to de-allocate your license from the machine it's on and then re-allocate it

Thanks, I'll remember that for if it happens again seeing as it's a quicker fix than restarting my machine which fixed it in this case.
