I just had a chained SimSig session shut down because I haven't been online, in less than a week. I put it online refreshed it and started up Shrewsbury. It started up then dropped out, Lost Licence. I started it up again to chain it, it chained to North East Wales & Hereford, then it's switched to demo mode. As it's switched to Demo mode, I cannot make a save to send or post. OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit Loader: SimSig Loader version 5.16.1; Sim: Simulation Shrewsbury; data version 1.6 License: Demo mode TT: Shrewsbury SX 08 04 2015 0000 start v1.1.3 TT filename: Shrewsbury SX 08 04 2015 0000 start.WTT TT merged: False Sim upgrade: False Loader upgrade: False Save reloaded: True NDEFAULT active at start NBLOCKSELECTMAIN active at start NBLOCKMAINON active at start NBLOCKSELECTSTATION active at start NBLOCKSTATIONON active at start NBLOCKSELECTFRINGE active at start NBLOCKFRINGEON active at start NLX active at start NLXON active at start NTORRSELECT active at start NTORRON active at start NPROBLEMS active at start NNONE active at start ![]() Post has attachments.

You don't have the same issue occurring with Hereford? If you find yourself offline more often than not, Why not just lock all your sims when you are connected?

Yes unfortunately even locked sims still seem to require little top-up connections to the internet at intervals which one presumes are dictated by God alone

Thank you for pointing put my Windows 7, I was simply pointing out that the link that was sent was not relevant to my operating system. Simsig still works very comfortably on Windows 7.

Guts in post 141076 said:The link is relevant as Windows 7 has been out of support by Microsoft for over 12 months, as such SimSig don't guarantee to support it. As an aside, your Shrewsbury license wasn't at the time you reported this thread locked to a computer, it was in use in dynamic mode. So on that basis I suspect you lost the internet connection given that Hereford which was locked didn't disappear.

I lock everything to my laptop. I've report this loss in licence before so I never leave anything dynamic. If you notice I don't report it any more, on this occasion it was a strange disconnection.The link is relevant as Windows 7 has been out of support by Microsoft for over 12 months, as such SimSig don't guarantee to support it.
