Designer 3 failing to open
Designer seems to be in the trial mode all of the sudden. It says " there are zero days on your trial period" when I try and activate the software through the provided link, and after I try to register, it says I have no license's available.
Since you are probably going to ask, I have all the software purchased, and most of the add on's. Can anyone tell me what has happened?
Thanks,
Woody

Somehow I think Designer has generated a different computer ID for your computer. A software or hardware update may be the reason.
Send an email to support asking to release one of your licenses so you can reactivate.

FML, So being a holiday weekend, I guess I have to wait until Monday? Sent an e-mail yesterday, no response yet.
Thanks,

Sometimes you can go to http://register.carvewright.com/ and down at the bottom left is a link to "download license file". Sometimes reloading that file will help. Or if you only have designer loaded on one computer you can register a "second" computer on that same page. Then when you can contact LHR call them and have them delete the non-working one.
It does suck, I have to reload the license file every time I reboot my computer. So I just keep a cvopy on my desktop so I can.

Thanks for the guidance Brdad, however when I download the file, it gives the warning, "ERROR: The file you selected doesn't contain a valid Carvewright license. please contact Carvewright for assistance."
Just to make sure I am doing this right:
When I open Carveright designer, it opens in the trial demo mode
The only option I am given is to Register, since the dialog box that pops up is warning that my trial period has expired.
I click register, click the ELAU agreement boxes on the next screen then it goes to how I want to register,
If I click register online, I get the warning "No License available"
If I click "I have a license file" I select the location for the file downloaded from the carvewright site and get the above warning.
When this go wrong, they usually do when its the most inopportune tile, oh well I will call carvewright tomorrow in the AM,
Thanks again.

That sounds correct, so that method won't help. Your only hope is to register your computer as the second computer, if you don't already have two computers registered. If so I think there is a "register new computer" option when you start designer (on one of the same screens where the option to load the license file is). If that works you'll still have to call LHR to get the non-functioning registration deleted so it is free for next time.
