Title: Installing license on raspberry pi
Post by: akhunaton on April 02, 2018, 01:38:36 pm

I followed the directions found here: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,111505.0.html

and get the confirmation message "License restored successfully from file"

but the popup "The trial period has expired" persists. I am using the MC24 masterlicense

Have you tried registering from the Terminal instead? Also make sure you're using MC 23.0.102.

That's what I am using, the terminal. How do I specifically install MC 23.0.102? Why that version? I don't know what I have because I can no longer get past the splash screen. thanks for your help.

MC 23.0.102 is the build that supports a MC24 license, otherwise you'll run into issues with it not registering with a MC24 license.

I have version 23.0.102 already installed

Not sure what's going on here, I just tested it and it works fine.
You should be running MC NOT as the root user and NOT with sudo or you could mess up the ownership of MC's settings files.
If you don't have access to the audio devices without root or sudo, add the user you are running with to the audio group and logout and back in again.
To fix the ownership of the users MC settings, pull up a terminal as the user running MC and do this (without MC running):

Code: [Select]

chown -R `id -u`:`id -g` ~/.jriver/Media\ Center\ 23
Note carefully the syntax of the above command if you don't copy/paste it directly. The quote mark is a backquote, on the same key as the tilde ~

Try the licensing again. If it still doesn't work, delete the Machine Settings file and try again.

Code: [Select]

rm ~/.jriver/Media\ Center\ 23/Settings/Machine\ Settings.ini
If it still doesn't work, send me the registration code you are trying (in a PM)

Thanks. Everything seems to be working great now. I followed your directions. I think it was a permissions issue. Thanks again!  :D
