The last 3 updates, each time I start MC, I see the notice the trial period has expired. I have licensed MC since ver. 17. For some reason, my computer is not keeping the license information. Background, this started 2 updates ago. I didn't really think of the problem after the automatic download and simply 'restored' my license via authorization code. After a few days, the same license requirement came up and I reapplied the restored licence without problem.
Today, the same problem but the restored license had expired. I was able to restore again using the authorization code. I then noticed, more honestly finally read, that there are only 10 restores in a 12 month period. I have used the 6th one resolving whatever is the problem on my machine since MC 19 came out after beta.
I don't what information to offer but here is the machine:
ASUS Sabertooth x58 with quad Pentium 970 running Windows 7 64 bit SP 1. A GeForce 7600 GT video.
I was using an ASUS Xonar Essence but starting having noise in the sound during mouse moves or scrolling. I tried a number of the fixes from the board, but could not quiet the scrolling noise. I switched to an MAudio 24/196 but same problem. I used an old Via Envy 24 PCIe card and daughter card and finally got rid of the scrolling noise. I installed ASIO v2.
I am only using this computer for music in a room with a CARVER 2 channel stereo. I enhance my listening with a Carver with audio hologram, but all of this is after the computer.
Questions:
1. Any ideas of the need to restore so often?
2. Though the sound is adequate from the Envy, I prefer the Xonar - any ideas why I scrolling and mouse noise?
