Hi All-  This my first post and I am new to Media Center.  I seem to be unable to apply my just purchased license, it fails with:
CRegistrationHelper::GetLicenseFileFromRegistrationCode: error = There was a problem communicating with the license server.
I am on openSUSE Tumbleweed and used 'alien' to create an install rpm.  I used the help tab on the interface and chose install license, but the dialog box said restore.
Thanks for reading and thanks for any and all help.

Thanks to mwillems!  The simple answer was the command line to add the license.
Thanks also to JimH for his suggestion.

Alternatively, have you tried the commandline registration method?

Take the .mjr file emailed to you as part of license restore and execute the following code
Code: [Select]
mediacenter22 /RestoreFromFile "Media Center22 Master-YYYYYY.mjr"
Taking care of course to replace the Y's with the actual numbers in your file.

When you are running on a non-debian OS you probably don't have the correct certificate cache that MC uses for doing https to the license server hence the need for the command line registration.

Thanks, Bob,  for the clarification it does make sense now.
