Entering the MC registration code from the command line

These instructions for entering the registration code from the command line are courtesy of mwillems

I thought I'd add a note for anyone wanting to use the command-line option mentioned in Bob's post. The correct command syntax is:


--- Code: ---mediacenterXX /RestoreFromFile "Media Center20 Linux-YYYYYY.mjr"
--- End code ---

(replacing the X's and Y's with the correct numbers from your specific .mjr file).

See: http://yabb.JRiver.com/interact/index.php?topic=89884.0

Bob's extra notes:
1) The "" are required since there are spaces in the mjr file.
2) When doing this from the command line you must be the same user as the one running MC (not root or some other user).

Thanks a lot for this post as the mjr file is not associated to the mediacenter!  ;)

True but even if it was it still would require the command line arg to install the license.

Weedos123:
Having previously successfully install my master licence using the above instructions, I got a fully working copy of mc.  So rather than recreate all my settings etc I thought I'd use a current backup from my Mac to recreate the same set up in Linux.  That all went well.
Ran mc on the Linux box and it said my licence had expired.  So I tried using the an older mjr file to restore my licence but that had expired too.  So entered my licence details in the box that popped up, when doing a restore licence.  That was accepted and I received a new mjr file. Tried mc still said licence had expired. Restored the licence from the mjr file via the command line, that said it had completed successfully, tried mc again still said licence expired.  Tried whole thing again, got another mjr file. Same result.

So now stuck.  How do I proceed from here?

It's a debian installation with MC v88
Thanks

Make sure the version matches the license. 

Check your system clock.
