so my motherboard went bad. they sent me another. i installed and all seemed to work well. i just installed the new AM update and got the error above.
i saw some threads on this and did a search and there must be at 200 files with different dates.
am i screwed here. do i have to re-format?
mike

The date is set right on your new MB?

it is now but when i did first put it in it was set to some past date.

jason at hash dot com might be your best bet at this stage. There is a protective device in the software to prevent users from changing their system clock to try to fool the subscription process. A bad MB/system clock has run you into the same issue.

Cheers

its not a bad mother board clock its just set to the stock clock. i did change it but it seems that AM does not like any foolishness when it comes to changing the clock.
its looking like a reformat is in my future.
time for a stiff drink.

You may not have to reformat. Just email support@hash.com with your problem and see if there is any other solution.

yes i already did. ill hold off on the format for the moment. just wish i could do some animations now. i need some stress relief....
thanks
mike

well i wrote to steve and to support but have heard nothing from them yet. i really want to do some animations.........is anyone out there?....lol....help i dont want to format my system again....ughhhhh

Well, there's the problem. There's no Steve at Hash anymore.

It's Jason.

oh see what his email?

it works it works it works.......im not sure why but i thought i would try to open it up one more time before removing hash and do a full hash software install and behold it booted up. so its a mystery. but im up and running. lets hope it sticks....

hello,

It's good to see it's working. I sent you a few emails about this. but it looks like eathlink was blocking them(i just got the bounce) i have a email into them to see. Why.

Just incase this happens again i will post the steps we would send. But if your CPU looses it's clock time or you have to flash your bios. Make sure your clock is reset before you start A:M.

First download:
ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/misc/rlmhostid.zip

unzip that file to your desktop.

For windows XP/Vista

Go to Start Menu > Run > type ‘cmd’ without quotes [enter]. In the window type ‘cd desktop’ with out quotes [enter]

Now type ‘rlmhostid.exe’ with out quotes. You will get ‘Hostid of this machine:’ Right click on the last number and select mark highlight all of the code after ‘Hostid of this machine:’ and email that to me and I will send you a new .lic file.
