Hi Team
I went on holiday for 3 weeks and had a lovely time.
However no one  had Media Center and I was really looking forward to listening to my music again.  

When I went to start it up all I got was a box saying my Media Center Ver.10.013 Beta has timed out and to download an upgrade.
I couldn't start it to do this so I reinstalled 9.1 316 so I could seek advice.

I'm not happy that my Version 10 that I paid for and have the registration code for, has timed out.

I'm wondering if I download the latest 10 Beta upgrade can I put in my registration code and have version 10 registered again?
cheers

yes, download the latest beta, they don't time out anymore either.

I think they

wanted to allow users to test it but not hang on to the first betas for life like some users do.

I remember one user had a beta for over a year, and never upgraded until he had a problem and asked why it did not work. I guess he did not know he could download updates.

I am quite happy to use the Beta programme of ten otherwise I would not have paid for it.

I do not download every update and are inclined to wait maybe 10 builds before doing so.

But I still don't think my registered version should have timed out.
Is this likely to happen again?

If I hadn't kept version 9.1, I would have no MC at all.

But I still don't think my registered version should have timed out.

Registered or not, it's still a beta build, not an official build.  It's issues like these that we are warned about in every single beta release thread.    In other words, given that you were forewarned, it's not really fair of you to complain about it now; but, you know, that's just my opinion.
