Reactivate licence every month?
« on: August 24, 2024, 10:34:53 AM »
Hi, each month just after the sub renews I have to reactivate Photo Mechanic (it asks me for activation and to re enter the licence key) and find the key and enter it as if I have never purchased before.

Is there a way not to have to do this - it is inconvenient to try and find the licence key each month. Thanks

This issue should be fixed in the 7578 build of Photo Mechanic.

From the release notes:

• Fixed: License Expired message and failure to run on last day of subscription.

You can read more about the build and download it here:

Great thanks, hadn't realised there was a new version as had been using the app to check for updates, will keep a closer eye. Thanks

I updated to the new version and all was well but now the activation problem has recurred. Will there be a more permanent solution at some point?

The next build will check for compliance each day it is used.  We expect this to take care of the problem for good.
