Done. Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest system files, and then download and install Marylebone. The sim will then appear in the loader.

Done.

I've also just installed the latest HikaShop, still labelled 2.2 but dated today. Maybe this will be the one... :whistle:

What version number does the License Manager say (in the title bar)?

Did you get an e-mail from SimSig confirming that the licence had been granted? That is a different e-mail to the one from PayPal confirming payment.

If not, the connection between the Shop and Paypal has got indigestion again and one of the admin will have to manually authorise the licence. Once that is done, the licence will show in the Licence Manager, you will be able to allocate the licence to your machine and off you go.

John, I can see there is a license waiting for you, and that it's not been used. Do you perhaps have another login you're using by mistake? It should be the same login/password as this forum (website).

Have you followed the advice in the sticky too?

It'd be helpful, as a general comment, if people posting here explicitly say they have followed that guidance too and are still having difficulty.

Manager says license has been issued and activated, have you confirmed the common.cfg file is in place per sticky?

I've just uninstalled and reinstalled Marylebone to no avail.

I also reinstalled the system files into the same folder

The most common cause for the problem you are having is that the SimSig folder is missing from the Public Documents or Shared Documents folder. The current release of the Licence Manager sometimes trips over and doesn't create the SimSig folder which means it then cannot create the common.cfg file. The Loader then can't read the common.cfg file and it thinks you haven't got a licence. So just to satisfy a sad old man, can you confirm three things, please.

1) Can you see a Public Documents or Shared Documents folder when you look at My Computer?
2) If you can see the Public Documents or Shared Documents folder, does it contain a SimSig folder/
3) If you can see the SimSig folder, does it contain a common.cfg file?

If the SimSig folder is not present, create a SimSig folder, run the Licence Manager again and things should work.

If all of that is already in place apologies for sending you on a wild goose chase and we'll have to try something else.

John, I think I've got him sorted, seemed like me we weren't using the lastest version of Lic. Man. despite having it downloaded (kept running previous version).
I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.
