Is MC Desert Island Proof?

(1/5) > >>

xzeezeex:
I'm a long-time Media Center user (since maybe version 10 or so?) and love it to death. I even run a parallels virtual machine on my MAC just to have it running.

Anyway... I've had to install and reinstall MC many times, and every time I do so, I have to get a new license file from JRiver just to get it up and running. Not a huge deal, but I'm wondering: if I have a setup EXE and a legitimate serial number, shouldn't I be able to just install the software? You know, in case I'm on a proverbial desert island with no internet?

A similar problem is that MC always seems to "lock me out" when updates are available, almost like it's a beta that's expired... I then have to download a new version just to get up and running again...

Is there a way to address both of these issues?

JimH:
Thanks for your business.  When you restore, you receive an Install Key that is good for 14 days.  After that, you need to do a restore again.  This is explained in the Purchase section above.

Sometimes we "force" an update.  We don't do it unless it's very important.

xzeezeex:
So is there really no way to use the software without either a) the internet or b) jriver?

JimH:
Everything would still work, but you couldn't install on a new machine.  Neither the Internet nor JRiver are going anywhere soon.

glynor:
This made me laugh...

I use MC basically every day on a desert island.

Mount Desert Island, to be exact.
