If you can be patient, we will get this sorted out. This is a big change for us and it should solve a number of problems that people have had in the past. Firewalls, for example. But it has also created some new problems. We will get these solved in the next few days.
We will write up a complete description today and post it, but the quick description is this:
When you use the new method to buy, you are taken to a web page on our server. Here you enter your details and when the card is approved, a temporary license is generated. You can copy and paste this license into MJ. It is also emailed to you.
When MJ sees this temporary license, it acquires the permanent one from our server. This license can be backed up and restored as with the previous generation of licenses in earlier builds of 8.0 and in version 7,6, etc.
rrg files from 7 and 8 are also honored by 8.0.
Here's more info from the current e-mail message that accompanies the license:
You may install the license you downloaded for a limited period. If
this period expires, you may get another license without charge from
https://rover.jriver.com/cgi-bin/restore.cgi using the license ID above.
If you lose your license for any reason, you can get a replacement from
the same site, again using the license ID above. The number of
replacements is limited, so don't give your license or license ID
to your friends.
If you lose both your license and your license ID (please print out
this page now), you can get a copy of all license IDs you have purchased
from
https://rover.jriver.com/cgi-bin/restore.cgi as well. This requires
knowing the email address you used to purchase the license.
If you lose both your license and your license ID, and you no longer
have access to the email address you used for purchase, you can still
get the license IDs at
https://rover.jriver.com/cgi-bin/restore.cgi.
You must enter your password from the purchase, your old email address,
and the email address you want the IDs sent to.
If you lose your license, your license ID, and your password, then
we cannot help you.
