How it goes forward with MC for Qnap? will be there a version MC 23 for Qnap or is this MC 22 the last?

bkatz11 · « **Reply #151 on:** May 11, 2017, 12:03:49 pm »

I have bought the windows upgrade today and followed the instructions. I downloaded the latest stable 22 version and ran the licence key. I got a dialog box that said it was registered correctly. However when I got to help and look at the registration info, it says it is unregistered???

JimH · « **Reply #152 on:** May 11, 2017, 12:31:35 pm »

Run MC22 again and then restore your license.

I have tried the Windows upgrade page several times with the same failure - when I click after the credit card info has been entered, Chrome shuts down and reopens on the same site with a message "please use the program to initiate purchase."

I wonder if someone could help. I have managed to do something really dumb. I have previously bought an upgrade to the Master collection and after seeing the upgrade email decided to get the deal for version MC 23. Dumbo here didn't pay much attention to the link and I have ordered and paid for the standard windows upgrade. Reading through the forum it seems that I have committed a big mistake. Just wondering if there is anyway way to sort this issue out without having to repurchase another licence.

Hi, I am a newbie.

Sorry if this is answered somewhere else, but I couldn't find info on it.

I installed a trial version at the end of January, which as far as I understand is actually a full version with a 30-day expiration. I installed my library and then created a bunch of playlists and set a bunch of options to my liking. Then I wasn't able to get back to working on it again until today. Obviously by now my trial time has expired. So I went to purchase a license for it but am now told that this version is outdated and I have to download a new version first. The trial version is 22.0.59.0.

So here are my questions:
1) How do I install a new version? Do I have to uninstall the old trial version first and then install the new version, or do I just install the new version and it will overwrite the old version?

2) Will I lose all my playlists and options-selections / customizations that I created in the trial version when I upgrade and then activate my license or will all that still be intact in the new version? I really don't want to lose all that as it took me hours to create. Plus it would seem strange that anytime you update you lose all your setups.

Thanks much for your help.

yannis · « **Reply #156 on:** May 13, 2017, 02:14:25 pm »

Normal updates overwrite each other with no loss of data. I don't think your case is any different; but just in case, do wait a little until someone who is more qualified answers this very specific question.

JimH · « **Reply #157 on:** May 13, 2017, 02:53:04 pm »

Just download and install. There is no need to uninstall. Data will all be preserved.

It does. Download and install MC22. Use your new license to restore. Instructions are here:

I upgraded from MC19 Windows to MC23 Windows last night. Email I received with my Registration code said my web purchase should have activated Media Center automatically. That didn't happen. Found Install Key in Download file and tried installing there. No luck. Message I received was "error restoring Media Center License. Unknown error."

I tried several times, got same response. Made sure MC 19 was turned on. Didn't help. Looked around advanced settings and made sure all transaction types were set to ON.

Not sure how to resolve this issue. I have paid for an upgrade that will not install on same computer where MC 19 still resides.

Can anyone help me resolve this issue?

JimH · « **Reply #162 on:** May 15, 2017, 05:24:07 pm »

MC23 isn't available yet. It will be released this summer.

You can use the license with MC22. Just download and install it.

I purchased the MC23 master licensed and downloaded MC22 to both my PC and Apple Macmini. The PC version works fine, but the Apple version does not. When I double click the MC22 icon I get a "Problem Report" reading: "Media Center 22 quit unexpectedly." I restored the MC23 master license on the Apple and I was given a message that it was successful. I have downloaded MC22 twice, but get the same Problem Report.

Is the mini running 10.6.8?
That's unsupported in the latest MC22 builds and will not be supported in MC23.

Yes it is running 10.6.8.

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #167 on:** May 16, 2017, 04:44:42 pm »

IMO, the latest if you can. Otherwise I believe the minimum supported version is 10.7.

This is correct, 10.7 is the minimum supported version.
It's pretty difficult to upgrade to anything other that the latest version however unless you have a physical DVD of 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10 or 10.11 since app updates won't let you go to a lesser version than current.
Just FYI 10.9 and below don't get security updates any more.
If you have 4 gigs of ram it's probably best to just go to 10.12.
If you can add ram you should do so.

It should. Make sure you have the latest version of MC22 installed on the Mac, as only later versions of MC22 will recognise the MC23 licence.

As Roderick said, you need a new-ish build of MC22 for Mac to use an MC23 license. My MC23 master license is currently installed in my MC22 for Mac.

I have the latest 22.0.93.

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #182 on:** May 20, 2017, 07:00:15 am »

Use the .mjr key file - make sure you've opened 22.0.93 at least once (and make sure it was the last opened MC if there's multiple MC versions installed on the Mac) and simply open the .mjr file to register MC22.

I thought that the .mjr file is only for Windows and the registration is done with the key code.

For some reason your e-mail server was unable to reach me until today (May 20). I have no idea why - I've been getting e-mail all this time from others - but this afternoon I got an e-mail from you beginning:

If your version of MC22 is *already* registered, you can't re-register it. It is going to keep it's original registration information. If you install MC22 on a new computer, you can use your new MC23 code to register it though.

The message should have information on why it bounced. It's probably at your end.

I'm a bit confused. I upgraded yesterday. First I had to download and install MC22 (on my two Windows PCs) which went fine. I used the MC22 key (.mjr) file on either 1 or both machines. As part of the upgrade, I also got an MC23 key file. When I double clicked on that I got a wrong program version message. This is not surprising as I'm running MC22. But as the key file is only good for 14 days, what is its purpose?

Edit - answered my own question. MC23 .mjr could be used on my second computer.

Hello,

I love the software but I am a bit frustrated trying to get support. I bought a Windows license for MC21 back in 2015 and this morning tried to upgrade. I mistakenly bought a Master License and now I can't find any way to contact you except through this forum. In fact, none of the email addresses I have used with JRiver seem to be recognized.

Could you please have someone contact me so I can apply my purchase from today to the appropriate license.

Thanks.
