Registration prob with 10.3 and MA 2.0.6
I upgraded to Panther (7B85) and Marine Aquarium (v2.0.6) refuses to remember that it's registered - even after immediately accepting my Keycode.
I had the SereneScreen website email me my Keycode number to make sure it was right, and it was. Also, I downloaded the latest version, and installed it, so I knew I wasn't working with a possibly corrupted version of the screen saver. Is there a hidden preference file that may have become corrupted when I installed the new operating system? Or is there just a compatibility problem? |
Keycode
If the keycode is accepted but not remembered then one of two different things has happened:
1. The keycode can not be saved properly 2. The keycode can not be read back in properly There are two things that typically cause this problem: 1. A permissions problem on the folder holding the prefs 2. The prefs file is corrupt It is a good idea to toss all 3 (yes three) prefs files then empty the trash and re-run the application in this sort of problem. /Library/Preferences/com.prolific.ScreenSaver.Aquarium2.plist ~/Library/Preferences/com.Prolific.SereneScene.MarineAquarium2.applicati on.plist ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.prolific.ScreenSaver.Aquarium2.xxx.plist ~ means your home directory xxx means some number of digits If this doesn't solve the problem then we need to investigate the permissions on your preferences folders. |
You were right...
It turns out the preference files were corrupted.
After deleting them and then re-entering the Keycode, it works perfectly. Thank you. |
