Activation Failure - Leopard

Venom71
in Upgrading & Migration

Featured Replies

I've lodged this with Filemaker Australia earlier last week, but really haven't received any satisfactory answers ... yet.

I recently bought a new iMac. I deactivated FM Pro Advanced v9.02 before using the Migration Assistant to clone my user account from the MacBook to the new iMac.

When I attempted to activate FM Pro Advanced on the iMac, I got a general activation error (50040) error message.

I tried the upgrade to FM Pro Advanced 9.03 hoping this may help - but without any success, as the same activation error appears

Any clues?

Cheers

MacP

EDIT: Fixed it myself. I renamed the Flexnet Publisher folder in the Library|Preferences Folder and the activation worked correctly - and FM created a new / correct FlexNet Publisher folder.

Thanks so much for posting your solution - I too had a successful resolution dumping the preference file. You just saved me a ton of hair-pulling.

Thanx so much for this. Not sure how you figured this out but my new iMac thanx you.

Thanks from me too! Solved my problem.
