Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this.  First I couldn’t activate windows again after a reformat, and now XSI actication is not working properly either.  It claimed I was trying to activate a dongle license instead of an spl(I think it was) license.

I’ve done the same procedure over and over again a hundred times since I reformat windows at least 10 times a year due to various problems and just having a ‘fresh’ system.  I’ve never gotten this error before.

Could something be wrong that is somehow messing up ALL activation software?

Any ideas are welcome,
Neil

[FONT=Arial]I suspect after your format that your license server is configured for a dongle. To set it to the correct type for foundation, edit the spm-config.ini file:[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Start the license manager and click edit config.ini; or manually open the file in c:\spm\[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Where is says ‘[/FONT][FONT=Arial]DONGLE_TYPE=SI0’[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]change it to ‘[/FONT][FONT=Arial]DONGLE_TYPE=SLP’[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]click save[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]try to activate your license again[/FONT]

Actually, probably not.

The error message that says “Your registration code is valid, but your request code is for a dongle.” is displayed for a variety of different errors, most of which have nothing to do with the DONGLE_TYPE setting :-(
