Older versions work fine, but when we try to launch 0.9.9, it gets stuck at an auth page on waiting: [image]

I got this to work, once, by removing the 0.9.9 folder, and re-installing, but then the thing wouldn’t use all the lasers, and after restarting is stuck in the “authorize online” state.

After restarting a few times, the auth issue seems to have resolved itself, but now we can’t get all the lasers to arm correctly: [image]

Wow. moving back and forth between 9.6 and 9.9 is… not so easy, because of the way this new auth stuff works..

I did modify the shortcut to always run as Administrator, because when I was launching it without that, i got a message about my systemID being blank. as soon as I launched as admin it worked fine. S…

Ha, well I really appreciate you being the edge case - genuinely. These are exactly the situations that help me improve the system for everyone else. The new ID system was designed specifically so you wouldn’t have to run as administrator, so if it’s not working that way on your machine, I’d really…

I’ve discovered that if I authorise my (Windows) install of Liberation whilst plugged in to my USB-C dock, and then subsequently disconnect the dock and restart Liberation, it becomes de-authorised again. Reconnecting the dock again and restarting gets me back to my authorised installation. I’m gue…
