Edhy,

I had the same issue, and solved it by GACUTIL all the SF assemblies (upgrade seems to empty the assembly cache, except for the MS core assemblies)

Hi Ben,

I finally upgraded to Windows 10, it took over 4 hours but everything looks fine except that when opening VS 2014 I am getting the following exception:

Exception
  An error occurred while configuring the StrataFrame design-time data sources.
FileNotFoundException
  Could not load file or assembly 'MicroFour StrataFrame Base, Version=1.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=99fe9917f71608a7' or one of its dependencies.
  The system cannot find the file specified.

Source     :

Stack Trace:

   at MicroFour.StrataFrame.Data.ConnectionManager.SetConnections()
   at MicroFour.StrataFrame.AddIns.AddInManager.()



Now, just to be clear, I have not re-installed SF, just upgraded from Win8.1Pro to Windows 10 Pro.  Re-installing SF could fix the loading of the assembly issue, I will try that.

Hi Ben,

That is a great news.  I will start upgrading my computer in a few, since I will not be re-installing SF until the update for VS2015 is available I will predict that it will work as it is now on Win8.1.

I will post any issues in this thread if something shows up.

Thanks again!!!

Well, Edhy, I had a different experience than Michel did.  For me, Windows 10 has acted exactly like Window 8 did.  I don't have Hyper-V installed, so I'm not running into any issues there.  I had to cancel the activation client when I installed StrataFrame and re-launch it with "Run as Administrator" from the Start menu after the install was complete.  When I did that, I didn't have any problems downloading and installing the license file.  The DDT and BOMapper are all working, so my license is good to go.  

And now onto finishing the updates to the AddIn for 2015.

Howdy Michel,

I just learned today that when you have Hyper-V installed on the machine, Microsoft puts a "hypervisor" on the machine that attaches to all of the physical hardware and manages the I/O between all of the pieces.  So, the Hyper-V adapter is actually the MAC address of your adapter.  All of the adapters used by the operating systems you install are all virtual.

Kinda backwards, but that's the way it works.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the explanation, virtual MAC, it makes sense SF license could get confused and deactivated.

For now I will not use SF on a virtual environment, just on my main computer, even though I use some VM for testing only.

I'll wait for Ben's test to go ahead and update, my PC, it would be great if I can do it today, but I can wait couple of days if needed.

Hi Edhy,

yes, I had issues with SF activation licenses. On my Surface 64, all network hardware is virtualized, and every time I reboot or reconnect, the MAC address of the main network adapter (wifi) is renewed. And of course, it's impossible to modify it (or I've not found how to).

Fortunately, I use HyperV on that machine (for hosting virtual machines for tests), and the virtual network adapter created for HyperV has a persistent MAC address.
Figure that! physical adapter has not persistent mac address, but virtual has BigGrin. Issue solved by using this network "hardware"

I don't know if there issue the same problem occurs with a wired network (RJ45) adapter, but I would advise to transfer your SF ID on some external adapter.

I've just installed Windows 10 on a new development machine here, so I will let you know as the day progresses, Edhy.
