I've had this happen three times now. Any ideas why.
I've got MC17 running on a server machine as a service, serving up my media library to a workstation and a TIVO.
No problems there.
However, three times now, the server instance of MC17 will just "not be available". I suddenly can't access it from either my workstation or Tivo.
In each instance, when I get on my server and start digging around, I discover that MC17 has become "unregistered". So what happens is, when the server boots up (I rarely turn it off), MC17 tries to load as a service (I use FireDeamon) it ends up popping up a prompt about being unregistered and do I want to register it.
Of course, it's being run as a service, so there's no way I'm going to see that without some poking around.
So, I stop the service, run normal, request the registration through the website, install the new reg code and presto, everything's back to working right.
So my question is, why on earth does the dang thing keep coming unregistered?
This is a server machine, so no one's actually "on" it. I connect to it to store files, but that's about it.
Everytime this happens, it's when I've had to shut the server down and start it back up. It's almost like if MC runs for a LONG time, it does something that deletes it's registration info for some reason.
Any ideas?
