Hi,

I want to deauthorize a trial install on my old macbook, and test corona on a new mac?
Bit I can't even get to the preferences on the old mac because it gives this messages that the trail period is expired, but I never used it yet. I really would like to test this software a bit since I now have some time between projects ... ?

Any help would be appreciated,
Joris

Hi joris,

You and I talked via email. Just verifying that all is working for you now.

Hi,

I've received this mail on March, 16 2010 :
"Since you're an early Corona user, we'd like to invite you to take the latest Corona SDK for another test drive. We've reset your account so that you can download the latest version and activate a brand-new trial: Get Corona"
So, I did like you said, installed Corona trial version (deinstalling previous version before) but when i try to run hello application example i got this message :
"Your trial evaluation has expired"
Like the "account reseting" was not done...

Any help would be appreciated,

Christophe.

Try removing any file in /users/library/preference/ starting with the filename com.anscamobile.*

They should be one or two named com.anscamobile.* - remove them from your preferences folder. If that doesn't work, let us know at support@anscamobile.com

The preferences menu item is greyed out if there is another Corona window open.
