Purchase and Licensing Help
« on: January 31, 2022, 02:25:09 pm »

You can order an MC29 Upgrade at a discount.  Thanks for thinking of JRiver!

MC29 is in a thread near the top of this board and on our Download Page. 

When you purchase any version, you receive a Registration Code for that version.  It is a permanent license.  It will always work with that major version (29, for example).

We also generate a portable Registration Code that works for 14 days so you can license MC on another machine without using a restore.

Licensing is explained in more detail in our Wiki topic called Restoring a License.
https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Restoring_a_License

Upgrade purchases are available at a reduced price.  You can upgrade from any previous version by using your Registration Code for that version.

You can retrieve your Registration Codes here.
https://rover.jriver.com/cgi-bin/restore.cgi

You can download old versions here.

It's too soon to say for sure, but we usually release all three OS's within a few days of each other.

Yes. You can use it with MC28 and swap to MC29 once it is out.

That's a good offer. But first i need a new GPU to use all the potential your new renderer offers :)
Does it work well with an AGU AMD Ryzen™ 3 4300GE?

Will MC 29 still work on older Macs? MC 27 has been working great on my old MacBook running OS Sierra, and I wouldn’t want to upgrade if it wouldn’t work on the older Mac OS.

Why is it not possible to use an existing account when preordering? I always have to newly register and fill out everything although I constantly preorder new releases.

No chance to login and reuse address data etc. on the preorder page.

HOW can we verify that version-29 license has been installed (when running 28)
« Reply #15 on: February 14, 2022, 02:35:32 pm »

hi:
HOW CAN WE TELL that the new version-29 license is actually installed (when running existing version-28 software)?
I found that clicking on the license file just brought-up notepad.  It was also marked non-executable (as a downloaded file).
I unblocked it and manually "opened" it with JRiver Installer.
BUT, after doing that, I don't see any difference when I display "JRiver Registration Info".
Shouldn't there be a message there that says "Verison 29 license has been installed, Thank you."  or something similar.
I can't see any way to definitively verify that the Verison-29 license has been loaded into the correct place, and is being read-in JRiver program.
(It could still be reading the old verison-28 license?

I have JRiver 25  for Windows.  I pre-ordered MC29 as a master license because I'm thinking of migrating to a Mac system.  When I tried to do an install thinking I could upgrade MC25 to 28 for Windows I got a message that indicated the file versions were incompatible.

How can I resolve the problem?

Thanks.

Why is this always (year after year) so confusing. Don't set up a system that downloads something and then when launched, creates an error message saying you have an earlier version (in my case 28). It would be wonderful if the creators actually had a real user's experience and not their perceived and self created experience. You'd cut down on the questions and support pings.

You need to download and install MC28.0.106 for the new licence to be recognised

I have already purchased JRiver 29 upgrade license for Windows last month.
Now I need Mac license as well.
When tried to purchase Master License as instructed on the page, PayPal was showing $79.99 and no discount. I did not proceed.
What should I do? Should I purchase net new Mac license or there is a way to get a discount on Master? Thanks !

Windows 10
MC 28 is on the PC with registration.
MC 29 is also installed

1. PC
a) don't have communication with the licence server
b) When im going with Firefox to the Licenceserver I get a mjr-file and after clicking this file I have A registration

2. PC
a) don't have communication with the licence server
b) When im going with Firefox to the Licenceserver I get a mjr-file
I copy mjr.file to desktop. After clicking this file I see a windows "Ihre Lizenzdatei gilt für ein anderes Produkt" (Your Licence is for another product)

PC 2 is not registered and I have still a 3. PC.

Read this carefully:  https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Restoring_a_License

An Install Key lasts for 14 days. 

Without an Internet connection, you must use a fresh Install Key.

The version of MC that installs the key must be the same as the key.

I'm hoping someone can help me with registering MC29 using a MC28 Registration Code (RC).   I purchased MC28 on 11/29/21,  but I only installed MC28 for the first time today and it registered properly.  However after downloading and running MC29, it won't accept the MC28 RC calling in invalid and I've accidentally burned 3 restores in the process.  Given when I purchased MC28, the registration code should work for MC29 correct?  If yes, what am I doing wrong?

Recently I bought one of the latest MC28 license version... (including MC29, when available)
Today I found, that MC29 is available

So I downloaded the latest MC29 .022 version...

Before installing it, I made a backup of my MC28 library including all options
Then I installed MC29 - it installed without any problems.

But now, most of my audio CD-cover artwork is not found anymore and JRiver doesn't show the artwork anymore... of coarse I have reloaded the previously saved MC28 library (see above)...

What is wrong ? How can I get the CD-artwork been shown again ?

Many thanks...

I am confused.  I purchased 27 and I thought I could use that until I wanted to upgrade, but it seems the program upgrades itself?  I would like to use the version I purchased until I see a need to upgrade.  I don't want to pay every year all to view content of which 90% were created before 2 years ago.

So, is there a way to use 27 with the license I purchased?

If not, would I be able to set up 29 so it will not auto-upgrade and cause me to pony up again in a year?

If not, is there a lifetime license around?

Yes I have read that. I have not had much luck. I think my product auto-updated and that is why I can't get the license to work. I will download the old version and give it a try (though I think I have tried this already). I will report back.

MC won't automatically upgrade a major version.  28 to 29, for example.  Re-read the link.  Everything is there.

I apologize; I'm sure the answer is obvious to more experienced users;

I have a valid license for JRiver 27, is there any free way to make it work with JRiver 29, or is a paid upgrade the only path?

As well, I have hit the "restore license" button a couple of times, but I have honestly no idea what it does (other than tick through my yearly restore allotment).

Thanks for your help!

An upgrade from MC27 to MC29 is a paid upgrade only path. Upgrades from a major version (in this case 27) to a newer major version (29) are.

Hi I have been reinstalling so much for numerous reasons, like clean installation of Windows. I only have one restore left.

I read that one can get it reset, if one ask for it in such cases. I read this from here. (If you use all your restores, please post on the forum. We can reset the count, but this is only done if you have run out.)

Do I have to come with further information on that I have paid for it?
