[RESOLVED] Machine ID changes frequently

Hello.

this problem seems to be Windows 10 related. I guess Windows 10 updates are changing my Machine ID frequently - without changing hardware.
So my purchased DGDeCNV license is getting invalid and I always have to create a new one for the same PC.

Any suggestions for this annoying issue?

Kind Regards
Matthias

Hm, I can't run the application. Blockey by SmartScreen, when selecting to do it anyway the application window is closing.

You have to download the EXE and then open a CMD window and type "mbserialnumber" to run it. Is that what you did?

OK, I know what's going on, thanks for the testing. I'll release a slipstream tomorrow to fix that.

Hopefully fixed in slipstream 161. Note that if you do not have a valid mobo ID then you will need to generate a new license for this slipstream but thereafter the machine ID and license should be stable. Those people with a valid mobo ID will not need to make a new license.

Good news!
DGTools license generator allows a maximum of 16 license numbers. Because of this issue I've wasted a few. So could you please reset my possible license number changes?
