License Server problem - Transaction is invalid

Unity Engine
1

Hi

Ive had this problem before and its arising again. Something to do with connecting to the license server.

I have just upgraded to / ordered Pro . Ive installed one copy on my windows, and want to install the other on my mac book pro (Ive had this setup already)
Windows is fine and done.
However Trying to activate liceense it tried to contact the license server , makes a new pop up window, and then just reads “Transaction is invalid”.

So. IN have tried completely uninstalling, then reinstall.
Now I cant even open Unity, it jsut goes straight to “Transaction is invalid”. then exits.

Little snitch is set to allow Unity full access

I want to install pro on my macbook as well as my windows (I believe this is valid since you get 2 installs per license)

If any one has any ideas I’d appreciate it
Cheers

Some purchases gives you two installs, but not all. If you have purchased from the Unity webstore, then you should have 2 installs.

Maybe view:

http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Unity4xActivation-Overview.html

and delete any ULF that you have. Then try to restart Unity. If you continue to have problems, drop the support team an email, and include the serial number and screenshots.

I dont think its the 2 install problem… Ive already removed all files incluing the ulf.

Once I reinstall, it acts like a brand new install, and on first run tries to contact the licenseserver.
The window opens that usually has stuff lie “Activate license” but just goes straight to “Transcation is invalid”

I’ll log a support ticket I think

OH…one more thing

If I put the .ult file back from the previous install, unity loads fine. But if I try to update to Pro (which I just bought) then I try to activate, the connecting to licese server window opens and I get same “Transaction is Invalid” error again

Aha… this thread solved it for me.

Something blocking my access so manual activation worked.

Thanks
