I have tried responding to the email I got for my MC license for version 20 but nobody responded. I have tried to renew my license multiple times, but I get the same thing, an error that says my licence is no good for that version of JRM (20). So now what?

[JimH]

What are you trying to purchase?  Which OS?  Are you using the right license?  You can't upgrade a license for one OS to a different OS.

This is in the linux section, so I'm assuming you're talking about a linux license.  If you're on a non-Debian linux distro, check out this stickied thread: http://yabb.JRiver.com/interact/index.php?topic=89893.0

Try the command line option, I've had an easier time with it on non-Debian distros.

EDIT: Jim beat me to the punch

[Johnny Stork]

Yes this is a Linux (Mint 17) distro. I have the email with the "Here is a Registration Code for MC20 for Linux:"

It wont work from the GUI and the command line instructions indicate I need the .mjr - there is none. And when I go to the license renewal page, I get an email with my (Windows and Linux) licenses for 19.

Could a more messed up process have been created?

[JimH]

There is a build of MC20 for Linux at the top of this board.

I have the 20 build (20.0.7), and I have the email with my 20x license for Linux but I cant install it.

You have the e-mail with your Linux 20x license?  That E-mail should have the .mjr attachment;  I just checked and mine definitely did FWIW.

[Johnny Stork]

Nope, Received August 12th from "Deanna Mans" (deanna at JRiver) with NO attachment. Emails back to her do not get a response.

Thanks for your purchase of JRiver Media Center 19 for Linux.  We're beginning development of the next version and would like to offer you a free upgrade.

Here is a Registration Code for MC20 for Linux:

Why not just perform a restore to get a new .mjr file?

[JimH]

I just had our system e-mail your licenses to your gmail account.

[Johnny Stork]

Thanks Jim, looks like 19 and no attachement.

JRiver, Inc. Media Center 19 Linux: XXXXX-XXXXX...., 6 restores left

Read about Restoring a License on our wiki.

[Johnny Stork]

Obviously as a long time MC users I KNOW about the license restoration process. When I go through it I get an email with licenses for Windows and Linux version 19 and NOT 20. And no attachment.

[Awesome Donkey]

Have you tried opening MC and manually inputting your license? Or copy and paste if you have that enabled.

[Johnny Stork]

Yes I have tried manually entering the license sent to me, but I got it working now. When I tried to manually enter the licence it launched a browser and too me to the License Restore Page. When I entered the 20 license I was given it took me to a form to create another account. The first time I ignored this since it NEVER happened before and there was no clear indication as to why this form appeared and I did not want to create a second account, or whatever. Like I said this NEVER showed up before. But this time I decided to put in just the minimum info - name, email and password, and I then got a new code and the mjr which I installed from the shell.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions

Ok.
