All of those who have had trouble activating in the last day or two, you are good to go again!  Sorry

Edhy's suggestion works for me! Thanks for the help Edhy and hello again

For the record, here are the sequences I went through using the Licence Activation wizard with the following results:-

1. I tried activating by supplying my email address and password and got a disk space error message.

2. As above, I ran the wizard with the Vista elevated "Run as administrator" right with the same outcome.

3. I tried activating using the DLL Trent emailed and I received a permissions error.

4. As with point 3, I ran the wizard with "Run as administrator" and the wizard actually reported that activation was successful. However, it wasn't as SF later reported when I ran VS2008. Also, re-running the activation wizard again reported that I wasn't licenced on the initial screen. I tried this several times and on each occasion I was told activation was successful (and I rebooted the PC in between). However, it didn't work.

5. I followed Edhy's advice, turned off UAC, rebooted, run the wizard without admin rights, supplied email and password and it worked. Turned UAC back on, rebooted and I am now running

It looks like the wizard needs to run with elevated administrator privileges. However, I think you need to make a mod to the wizard as manually elevating the rights isn't enough.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Actually I reproduced the problem, along with every other person who tried to activate

I also testing this on a Vista 64 system once I had corrected the issue on the server and it worked with UAC on and off.  So the problem was actually on our activation server versus on the client side.  If ever you need to run with elevated permissions, you can always right click the executable and then click "Run-As" and run as an Admin if you have the need. 

At any rate, I am glad that you got it going.

Hi Aaron,

Glad it worked by any mean.  I also had some problems at the beginning and that can be a bit frustrating, but as you can see here in SF the forum response are pretty much like we are used to in our VPM/VFP forums

I feel pretty good with the framework and more important with the level of support provided by the SF team which in my case has gone beyond the framework due to my current learning of VB.NET and the way of doing things now.

VPM/VFP? I stopped using both several years ago. Glad to hear VPM is still going though. Can't imagine the VFP market is too good these days.

SF does look very good and the support has been much faster than I have experienced anywhere else.

Regards,

Aaron
