I'm running MC on debian testing and it seems to be repeatedly asking for a licence renewal on each and every upgrade (it might even be on reboot with the latest version)
system is up to date, MC is 24.0.32, date/time is accurate and it is not an intel system, it's an amd (ryzen) box.
logs at startup

this repeated ~28500 times until I entered the code by pasting the reg code in at which point it extends the above log with a few lines and repeats this ~10 times

seems a rather noisy startup to say the least, not sure if this is expected behaviour, seems odd to me
Any ideas?
